It's Thursday, which means we're almost at Friday — except Riz has suddenly remembered that Friday means sticking his face into the Glory Hole Challenge with no sight, no sound, and absolutely no guarantee that whatever touches his face belongs anywhere near a human mouth. So naturally, everyone is extremely supportive by immediately making the situation worse.Welcome to another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show, where Rafe is still celebrating his birthday and discovers that Edible Arrangements has apparently undergone a full rebrand since the days when somebody would send you twelve pounds of cantaloupe on sticks. Ella Langley sent Rafe an upgraded birthday arrangement loaded with mini cheesecakes, chocolate-covered fruit, brownies and enough deceptive desserts to make him forget the word “edible” does not necessarily mean “eat literally everything.”Which is how Rafe ate part of a birthday candle.In his defense, there were edible decorations everywhere. In everyone else's defense, it was very clearly still a candle.The conversation then moves into October's most important annual class war: trick-or-treating etiquette. Is it acceptable to take your kids into another neighborhood for Halloween? What if your neighborhood barely participates? What if the other neighborhood is loaded with rich people handing out king-size candy bars? And if you live behind the gates of a fancy community, do you have a moral obligation to open those gates and let the candy-starved masses inside?Apparently some homeowners think Halloween candy is a finite natural resource that must be protected from outsiders. We respectfully disagree. Open the gates. Release the Reese's.Then we tackle another modern etiquette nightmare: people who buy one coffee, open a laptop and quietly annex a Starbucks table for the next seven hours. How long does one latte actually entitle you to free Wi-Fi and office space? Ninety minutes? Three hours? Until somebody physically removes your charger? The crew debates coffee shop squatters, Zoom calls in public and why basic self-awareness could solve approximately 94% of society's problems.Speaking of phones, restaurants are experimenting with phone-free dining, leading to the obvious question: if a host asked you “phones or no phones?” like it was the old smoking section, which side are you choosing? Lern is willing to go phone-free. Moon mostly wants everybody to stop telling him how to eat dinner. Rafe would apparently prefer to eat alone over a sink in the kitchen while making prolonged eye contact with strangers.Perfectly normal funny podcast behavior.Meanwhile, the TSA has finally identified the problem plaguing American air travel: chairs. Agents checking IDs are being asked to stand, which naturally inspires the crew to wonder whether Riz should also lose his chair in the name of looking more alert and professional. Somehow this detours into Hawk Tuah Girl updates, because this show has never met a conversational exit ramp it couldn't miss.We also preview some October entertainment, including the gloriously ridiculous-looking Street Fighter movie, where Jason Momoa, Cody Rhodes, Eric André and a pile of wrestlers, rappers and actors appear ready to punch the remaining dignity out of cinema. Moon is completely sold, mostly because it appears designed specifically for the 13-year-old portion of his brain that refuses to die.So yes: Glory Hole anxiety, birthday candle consumption, Halloween candy economics, coffee shop squatters, phone-free restaurants, standing TSA agents, Hawk Tuah updates and Street Fighter.Just another funny podcast where we started with Friday plans and somehow ended up reorganizing society.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.
How long could you sit in your workplace break room doing absolutely nothing before somebody noticed? An hour? Maybe two? Well, one former police lieutenant apparently decided to push that experiment all the way to NINE HOURS, and naturally The Rizzuto Show has nothing but questions, admiration and several concerns about the safety of the station coffee.Welcome to another comedy podcast from The Rizzuto Show, where we begin with the story of a veteran Burlington police lieutenant accused of spending massive chunks of his shifts sitting in the break room instead of, you know… police-ing. Sometimes it was nine hours. Sometimes he mixed things up and only spent six hours in there before doing three hours of actual work. But while crime may have existed outside those walls, the crew makes one very important observation: crime in that break room was ZERO.Protect and serve, baby.Unfortunately, our break-room hero's story gets considerably less heroic when we learn about an alleged confrontation with the officer who reported him and more than $50,000 in overpayments that he apparently never bothered mentioning. Suddenly the safest coffee station in Vermont has become a very expensive place to sit.Then we move from people who stink at working to people who apparently just… stink.The crew dives into a list ranking rock bands with the worst-smelling fan bases, and it immediately becomes one of those conversations where everybody you've ever seen at a concert is about to catch a stray. Phish takes the top spot, followed by the Grateful Dead and Insane Clown Posse, while GWAR, Primus, Tool, Slipknot, Korn, Pantera, Limp Bizkit, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, Rob Zombie, Deftones and plenty more get dragged into the fragrant festivities.Basically, if you've ever attended a rock festival in August and thought, “What IS that smell?” congratulations — apparently science has finally arrived.This comedy podcast also asks the opposite question: which band has the BEST-smelling fans? Coldplay? The Killers? Santana? Jimmy Buffett? We learn that determining a fan base's aroma involves an alarming amount of discussion about patchouli, weed, mothballs, tequila, feet and minivans.From there, Crap on Celebrities delivers another pile of entertainment chaos. Eddie Vedder surprises fans during a performance of “Hunger Strike,” Alice Cooper discusses his past addiction struggles, Nicolas Cage explains why modern superhero movies have become a little too much like professional wrestling, and Arnold Schwarzenegger is putting on the Santa suit for a new Christmas movie.There's also a debate over what Rizz should watch while he has the house to himself. Mortal Kombat? Barbarian? Normal? Apparently being alone for one evening requires the same level of strategic planning normally reserved for military operations.Plus, we get into Robert Downey Jr.'s painful Iron Man stunt injury, the return of 24 Jump Street, Hugh Jackman heading to Treasure Island, and predictions for the Halloween costumes everybody will be wearing this year.And because October is officially here, the crew lays out the Rizz Show October fundraiser supporting Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital. The Halloweirdo stickers are back, the Rizz Show billboard is hitting the road, Hats of the Week are returning, and Greek Fire is getting involved to help raise money for the kids.So today we've got break-room bandits, smelly Phish fans, Nicolas Cage superhero complaints, questionable Halloween costumes, Rizz's movie-night dilemma and an extremely important reminder that if you're attending a concert anytime soon, maybe hit the deodorant one extra time.Another perfectly normal 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.
Gordon Ramsay is bringing Kitchen Nightmares to Missouri, which immediately has Riz reminiscing about the horrifying realization that he once ate at a restaurant featured on the show. Nothing improves a cherished dining memory quite like watching Gordon Ramsay walk through the kitchen afterward and scream about what was living in the refrigerator.Welcome to another funny show from The Rizzuto Show, where we discuss whether Gordon's legendary rage is mostly an act, why “Gordo” is an underrated nickname and then move directly into the intellectual gauntlet known as the Riz Quiz.The rules are simple: 45 seconds of basic trivia, no skips and one wrong answer ends your run. Sounds easy until someone asks you the capital of France and suddenly Paris becomes forbidden knowledge.The callers battle through questions about guacamole, spiders, Pinocchio, sports, traffic lights and geography for concert tickets. We get some legitimately impressive runs — and then poor Bill steps up looking for redemption and immediately says a dried plum is a raisin.Bill, buddy. We love you. It's a prune.Then the crew decides to play along with a tiebreaker question: How tall is the Space Needle?King Scott guesses 465 feet. Moon guesses 615. Rafe goes with 820.And Lern?12,549 feet.For perspective, the actual answer given on the show is 605 feet. Lern has apparently constructed a Space Needle so massive that visitors need oxygen and possibly clearance from air traffic control. She admits she's “measurement blind,” which quickly becomes one of the great understatements in funny show history.That leads us into a completely reasonable discussion about whether anyone on the show could accurately estimate the height of the studio window, followed by the more concerning question of how everyone would escape if they couldn't use the door. Chairs are considered. The soundproof glass is analyzed. Rafe volunteers to Kool-Aid Man himself through the window because apparently being the show hero now includes testing your body against commercial-grade glass.And somehow that brings us to the incredible story of a University of Georgia student who survived an eight-story fall from an apartment window after dancing on a couch. She reportedly landed on a cushioned metal bench and survived with serious injuries, which has the crew marveling at an unbelievably lucky landing — and wondering who decided furniture belonged directly next to floor-to-ceiling windows in the first place.So we've got Gordon Ramsay, Kitchen Nightmares, trivia meltdowns, Paris confusion, raisins pretending to be prunes, a skyscraper-sized Space Needle and Rafe preparing to launch himself through the studio glass.Just another educational funny show from The Rizzuto Show.We're all learning together. Unfortunately.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.
We kick things off with news that Kitchen Nightmares is filming in Missouri, which has Rizz remembering the horrifying moment he realized he'd eaten at a restaurant featured on Gordon Ramsay's show. Then it's time for the Riz Quiz, where callers discover that common knowledge becomes significantly less common when there's a 45-second clock ticking. We get Paris panic, a dried plum becoming a raisin, Canada's capital becoming Ontario and, eventually, Lern estimating the Space Needle at an extremely reasonable 12,549 feet tall. Actual answer: 605 feet. She was only off by approximately an entire mountain.Meanwhile, a former police lieutenant is accused of clocking in and spending huge chunks of his shifts sitting in the station break room — including stretches of nine hours. Sure, there may have been crime elsewhere, but the crew points out one undeniable statistic: zero murders in that break room. We also rank some of rock's supposedly smelliest fan bases, with Phish, Grateful Dead and Insane Clown Posse fans leading a fragrant list that also drags Tool, Slipknot, Korn, Primus, Limp Bizkit and plenty more into the stink.Then Riz remembers what awaits him on Friday: the Glory Hole Challenge. No sight, no sound, just smell, taste and “face feel.” What could possibly go wrong?Rafe's birthday leftovers also continue when an Edible Arrangement turns dangerous and he accidentally bites into part of a candle because he was told everything was edible. From there, we tackle Halloween's annual neighborhood civil war: is it acceptable to take your kids trick-or-treating somewhere you don't live? The answer from the show is basically yes — especially if the rich neighborhood is hoarding the king-size Reese's behind the gates.Plus, coffee shop squatters, phone-free restaurants, TSA agents losing their chairs, an incredible eight-story fall survival story and enough completely unnecessary arguments to remind everyone why this show should never be trusted with serious decisions.Birthdays, break-room bandits, Glory Hole anxiety, Gordon Ramsay, smelly concert crowds and a 12,000-foot Space Needle — just another perfectly normal episode of 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.Restaurants lock up customers' phones as devices become the 'new cigarettes'Rolling Stone releases top 50 bands with the smelliest fansFlorida judge rips into mom accused of leaving 4 children at home to go on 3-day cruiseSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rafe's birthday celebration continues, and the man has already eaten six or seven deviled eggs in the studio. So naturally, this episode about health and weight loss is off to a tremendous start.Blues broadcaster Chris Kerber joins the show to wish Rafe a happy birthday — and generously guesses that he's 38 instead of 48 — before Riz notices something considerably different about Kerbs: he's down about 40 pounds.Kerber explains how concerns over his A1C pushed him to change his eating habits rather than immediately go the medication route. He talks about eating better, managing portions, cutting down on late-night meals and adding simple habits like walking after eating. Riz is also down ten pounds, which is fantastic news until everyone starts talking about the spread at the Blues Media Open House.And THAT is where this daily comedy becomes a test of human willpower.Fried green tomato sandwiches. Burgers. Chicken. Bratwurst. German nachos. Beer cheese on potato chips. Chocolate popcorn. Walking tacos served in Doritos bags. And, because St. Louis apparently looked at cardiovascular health and said “not today,” a toasted ravioli burger.Riz somehow avoids eating everything in sight and describes the experience as Temptation Island. Frankly, that man deserves a medal.Kerber also previews the upcoming Blues season, talks about the young roster, the team's tough opening stretch and Logan Mailloux injuring his hand while throwing punches during a preseason game. Plus, Riz Show Night is coming back with a sweet satin jacket, although apparently some fantasy-book promotion is threatening our position atop the Blues theme-night food chain. We will not be dethroned without a completely unnecessary fight.Then the birthday food keeps coming.Brian from Le Bon Boucher arrives with coffee and a vanilla mousse cake for Rafe — immediately earning Rafe the nickname “Vanilla Moose” — along with bacon that becomes his birthday candle. Because regular candles apparently aren't enough when you've already eaten seven deviled eggs.Weight loss, hockey, birthday bacon, arena food and enough deviled eggs to make everyone in the studio nervous about the ventilation system. Just another completely responsible dose of daily comedy from The Rizzuto Show.And yes, Rafe keeps eating.That's commitment to daily comedy. Or gastrointestinal warfare.

Nothing says “credible music journalism” quite like blindly ranking ten legendary rock bands without knowing which one is coming next. Welcome to another comedy podcast from The Rizzuto Show, where Queen gets the throne, Metallica becomes the baseline for civilization, and somehow The Beatles end up staring directly at KISS's backside.We kick things off with a blind ranking of some of the biggest rock bands ever: Metallica, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Nirvana, Guns N' Roses, Pink Floyd, Queen, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and KISS. The rules are simple: once you place a band, you're stuck with it. Naturally, this creates an absolutely flawless list that no music fan could possibly have an issue with.Just kidding. It's a disaster.Metallica lands at number five and becomes the dividing line for the entire exercise. The Rolling Stones climb toward the top, AC/DC gets placed too low and immediately causes regret, Queen claims number one, and then The Beatles arrive after almost all the good spots have disappeared. The result? The Beatles finish DEAD LAST behind KISS.Music historians, please direct your complaints somewhere else. We have enough going on.That leads to a bigger Beatles debate as Rafe argues that the band deserves enormous credit for what they changed, but that doesn't mean everybody has to automatically put them at number one. Moon attempts to defend civilization. Lern reveals she does not suffer from “Beatle boner mania.” Somehow Michael McDonald becomes the secret fifth Beatle. This is why nobody lets us curate the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.Speaking of legendary musicians, the crew gets into the backlash surrounding a George Michael tribute featuring performers including Teddy Swims and Sombr. Some viewers were furious with the choices, while the show tries to determine what exactly would have made everybody happy. Adam Lambert gets some love, Andrew Ridgeley's name is miraculously remembered, and Riz discovers his biggest problem with Sombr may simply be that somebody stole the “E” from his name.Then Rafe's birthday completely takes over the studio.The crew surprises him with a brand-new grill for his new house, which immediately raises the question of whether they can fire it up inside the studio. For legal reasons and continued access to oxygen, the answer appears to be no.But the grill is only the beginning. Rafe gets a personal birthday message from Rick of Rick's Ace Hardware — whom Rafe immediately embraces as his new father — along with an Ace bucket loaded with homeowner supplies. It turns out Rafe's previous love for the store traveled up the Ace Hardware corporate ladder and was even shared at a company convention. That's right: Rafe somehow became an Ace Hardware influencer without even trying. Take that, every 22-year-old making sponsored TikToks.There are also homemade deviled eggs, handmade coasters featuring Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and even Rafe's own dog, plus the discovery that Rafe shares a birthday with Monica Bellucci. At this point the man has a grill, deviled eggs, a bucket and Monica Bellucci spiritually connected to him through a calendar. There's nowhere left to go.And because this comedy podcast refuses to stay in one lane, Crap on Celebrities brings even more chaos: Slipknot and Marilyn Manson tour backlash, a Linkin Park documentary, Taylor Swift's former Beverly Hills home hitting the market, Diddy prison reports, Raven-Symoné revealing an extremely specific period routine, a Rick Wakeman concert for rescued bears, a heavy Matthew Perry documentary, and wildly divided reactions to a new Tom Cruise movie.There's rock history, birthday surprises, celebrity news, angry music fans and enough hardware-store enthusiasm to make a suburban dad shed a single tear into his freshly cut lawn.Happy birthday, Rafe. Here's a grill.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 Rafe's birthday, which means the responsible thing to do is celebrate his life by immediately spiraling into invasive fish, medical nightmares, self-driving cars and frozen-food conspiracies. Welcome to another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show, where staying on topic remains more of a suggestion than an actual policy.We start by celebrating the birthday boy and figuring out what was happening in the world when Rafe arrived in 1978. Apparently being born on a certain day of the week says something about your personality, which gives Lern the opportunity to bring astrology into the workplace while everyone else discovers exactly how many days they've been alive. Nothing makes a birthday more festive than confronting the relentless passage of time.Then the crew gets nostalgic over regional soda, including Ski, Like Cola, Jolt and the beverages that somehow survived our childhoods despite looking like they were designed in a laboratory behind a gas station. Ski is expanding farther south, which leads to the important debate: is it actually better than Mountain Dew, or does regional loyalty make everything taste 40% better?Things get considerably more terrifying when Missouri wildlife officials warn anglers about the northern snakehead, an invasive predator that can breathe atmospheric air and survive outside the water. If you catch one, officials want it killed and reported — because apparently we've reached the stage of civilization where the fish can leave the lake. Cool. Great. No concerns there.Then we enter the brave new world of autonomous driving after watching a driver argue with police that his Tesla was technically the one speeding. Unfortunately for him, “the car did it” does not appear to be the legal defense of the century. The crew debates who should actually be responsible when a self-driving vehicle breaks the rules, why everyone suddenly wants to speak to a supervisor, and how close we are to the only autonomous-car feature anybody really wants: getting in, falling asleep and waking up at the destination.Our funny podcast then takes a horrifying turn with a medical malpractice story involving a woman who reportedly went into surgery to have her cancerous right leg amputated — only for the surgical team to remove the healthy left leg instead. Because the cancer still had to be addressed, she ultimately lost both. The crew tries to comprehend how an error that catastrophic could happen despite surgical safety checks and then tackles the impossible question: how much money could possibly compensate someone for a mistake that changes the rest of their life?On a considerably lighter note, men apparently needed Pilates rebranded before we could participate, so welcome to the age of “Bro-lates.” Rafe wants in, Riz questions whether guys should invade the Pilates studio, and Lern explains exactly what happens on a Reformer until every man listening quietly decides maybe stretching at home is fine.We also rank states by natural-disaster misery before arriving at one of the greatest mysteries facing modern America: what happened to the Hot Pocket crisping sleeve?A viral video claims inflation has gotten so bad that Hot Pockets “don't even come with the pocket anymore.” There's just one problem: the pocket is the food. The missing piece is the old microwave crisping sleeve, which was apparently retired years ago while basically nobody noticed. This launches a full investigation into the magical cardboard contraption that somehow made molten pizza lava crispy while leaving the center approximately the temperature of an Antarctic research station.Birthday history, dangerous fish, Tesla courtroom strategies, catastrophic human error, Bro-lates and missing microwave technology — Episode 182 is exactly the kind of daily chaos you expect from The Rizzuto Show.It's a funny podcast. Nobody promised it would make you smarter.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 Rafe's birthday, so naturally we celebrate the only way The Rizzuto Show knows how: questionable food choices, terrible opinions and conversations that have absolutely nothing to do with birthdays.The festivities start with Rafe crushing deviled eggs while Blues broadcaster Chris Kerber joins us to talk about his impressive 40-pound weight loss and the lifestyle changes that got him there. Unfortunately, any motivation to eat healthier is immediately destroyed by a rundown of the new food at Blues games, including German nachos, walking tacos, beer cheese and a toasted ravioli burger. Riz also gets humbled by a fellow morning radio personality who has absolutely no idea who he is, and Rafe's birthday feast escalates to vanilla mousse cake and bacon candles.Then we make the mistake of blindly ranking ten legendary rock bands. Metallica becomes the baseline, Queen grabs the top spot, and a series of increasingly bad decisions somehow leaves The Beatles at #10 behind KISS. We attempt to defend this musical felony before diving into the backlash surrounding a George Michael tribute. Rafe's birthday celebration also delivers a new grill and the kind of homeowner haul that says, “Congratulations, you're officially middle-aged.”But the birthday boy isn't done yet. We investigate what was happening in 1978 when Rafe entered the world, revisit forgotten sodas like Ski, Like Cola and Jolt, and discover the northern snakehead — an invasive fish that can breathe air and survive outside the water, because regular fish apparently weren't stressful enough.Plus, we debate who gets the ticket when a self-driving Tesla speeds, react to a horrifying wrong-leg surgery story, discover men needed Pilates renamed “Bro-lates” before they'd consider doing it, and investigate one of the great mysteries of modern frozen cuisine: what happened to the Hot Pocket crisping sleeve?Deviled eggs, birthday presents, rock-band blasphemy, killer fish, Tesla excuses and missing Hot Pocket technology.

Manager Minute-brought to you by the VR Technical Assistance Center for Quality Management
What happens when a successful employer partnership becomes the start of something much bigger? In this episode of Manager Minute, Carol Pankow talks with Paul DiBello, Director of Business Services at Missouri Vocational Rehabilitation, about Missouri's Nexus network. What began with one collaborative group has grown to approximately 18 groups connecting VR, workforce and community partners, and businesses across the state. Paul shares how regular meetings, employer involvement, "Nexus Mission Moments," and a one-team approach have helped sustain the work—and why employers who experience success often become VR's most powerful ambassadors. During National Disability Employment Awareness Month, this episode celebrates the partnerships and practices that create meaningful employment opportunities and keep opening doors for people with disabilities. Listen Here Full Transcript {Music} Paul: The Nexus, it's really a collaboration of community partners and local businesses. We started, like I said, with one, and I think we're up to 18 different groups now. Once you have that one success story with a candidate and business, it can really snowball into that business sharing nexus with other businesses. We've seen that where they call their friends at other businesses and say, hey, you've got to check this out. These folks have a talented pool of candidates or you can learn about resources. I have to say, word of mouth is still a great marketing tool in this business. Carol: That's good stuff. Intro voice: Manager minute, brought to you by the Vocational Rehabilitation Technical Assistance Center. Conversations powered by VR. One manager at a time, one minute at a time. Here is your host, Carol Pankow. Carol: Well, welcome to the Manager Minute. Joining me in the studio today is Paul DiBello, Director of Business Services at Missouri Vocational Rehabilitation. How are things going in Missouri, Paul? Paul: Things are going great, Carol. Thanks for asking. Carol: Awesome. Good to have you. Well, October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and this conversation offers a wonderful opportunity to recognize not only the contributions of workers with disabilities, but also the partnerships and practices that help create meaningful employment opportunities. And what makes today's story really interesting is that it began nearly a decade ago, back in 2017. Missouri VR shared with our old WINTAC grant how the agency was collaborating with workforce partners and employers to strengthen business engagement across the state. And so nine years later, my colleague Doug Keast circled back to see what happened, and he freaked out. He's like, Carol, you have got to call Paul. He's got to be on a podcast. And Doug had found that it wasn't simply that the work had continued, but it had expanded, it matured. It was even more deeply embedded in your system. And so today, Paul is joining to talk about how that collaboration grew and what helped to sustain it, and what the rest of you listeners can learn from this. So let's dig in. So, Paul, can you tell our listeners a little bit about yourself and how you came into the VR world? Paul: Sure. It's kind of a little bit of a curvy road for me, to be honest. My undergrad degree was in music education, and actually I was a high school band director for a couple of years, then followed my new wife out to Virginia. She got a job in her field, and we lived out there for a while, and I somehow got into accounting. So I went back to school and got an accounting degree and worked for a couple of fortune 500 companies out there over the course of about eight years, and then three kids and a dog and a cat later, we decided we lived too far from family. So we moved back to Missouri, closer to family and I ended up getting a job with the job center, actually with our WIOA title one Youth folks. So I started there and really fell in love with the work. I started there as a Youth Job developer in the Job Center, and then later became an assistant Youth Program Coordinator for all of our youth services within the 19 counties in central Missouri, under the Workforce Board there. And it was kind of it was at that time that I really started to get to know a little bit about VR services. I have to give a shout out to my good friend and Missouri VR coordinator programs doctor Elizabeth Perkins. I partnered with her back then. She was actually a VR counselor, and she would come into the job centers and work a day or two there, take customers there. So we got to know each other real well. I learned more about VR. We started to partner on some things and it really opened, kind of opened my eyes to how awesome VR is. I'm just going to say it's different and I love all of our Workforce partners, but there's something special about VR counselors. So anyway, kind of fell in love with it then, but again, kind of a curvy path. My next stop, I worked as an EO officer for the central region. So I actually worked directly for the workforce board. And there I got to work on our state's non-discrimination plan and got to do some disability projects and stuff with partners. So a little bit closer to VR there. And then I was recruited as a actually a statewide job center provider for one of our WIOA program providers who also was a community rehabilitation provider. So even a little closer to VR, because I got to work on some contract management, and I was actually the assistant director of workforce programs for that company. So got to see both sides, the job center side and the CRP side. And then finally, in July of 2019, there was a VR job became open. And Elizabeth kind of encouraged me to apply for it. It was actually in procurement. So I started, then got to move into some case management stuff and then round about all the way back to business services where I started with WIOA. So that's where I am now. Carol: Holy smokes, you did take a long and winding road with a stop off with an accounting degree. Like where did that come out of the blue? Paul: Really weird. Carol: I love it. We're gonna have to bring you over to our fiscal management community of practice. Paul: Ok, that sounds fun. Carol: Yeah. You're like, no, I got out of that. I don't want to do that. That's awesome. So I know you weren't in Missouri in 2017, actually at the VR agency, but you were doing things out and about. So what was Missouri trying to accomplish back then? If you could like, put on that view from way back through that collaborative business engagement? Paul: Yeah. And I do remember even I wasn't with VR. I do remember how things were starting to come together back then. It was really just building partnership with WIOA partners. And it was through the development of a really a state level workforce system business committee, I guess you would call it didn't really have a formal name back then, but VR helped kind of host events with WIOA partners. And that's also where I got to know VR a little better, too, through some of that, to survey businesses together kind of as a team. And this eventually developed one of the very first lasting collaborative business and community engagement Nexus groups. And I think we're going to talk about Nexus here soon, but that was in the Kansas City area, and it consisted of monthly meetings that kind of brought community partners together with businesses to expand employment opportunities. And this would be for individuals with any barriers to employment. So it wasn't just focused on disabilities, but that was part of it. It was a great way to get all that collaboration with all of our state agency and partners. And then we really realized like, just so, you know, like the word nexus, we realized we wanted a system that was defined really by the very definition of the word nexus. And according to Merriam-Webster, nexus is a connection link or tie between people or things. It can also mean a central hub, or the core place where multiple parts of a system meet and come together. So that's really what we wanted for our state workforce system, just to have some really solid partnerships and where we were working together as a team. So that's kind of what was going on then. Carol: I love that. So nine years later, you look at, okay, what's changed the most for you guys? Paul: I would have to say, first of all, for VR, we've expanded our business team from, I think it was about three members. I'm not I wasn't there yet, but we have expanded to seven, which is huge for us. It gives us the ability to really get out across every region of the state and our VR business services team. It's really gained more clarity in our responsibility in terms of providing that menu of individualized and relevant services to meet those dual customer needs. So in essence, I think above all else, we've focused on being strategic connectors between VR, the workforce system, businesses, and then ultimately our dual customer, our clients as well. Carol: I know talking to Doug, he said, in talking to other people, like you guys have been able to sustain and move this stuff along. Like you not only started it, but you've made this even better. That is not the case everywhere there have been starts and stops, and it almost seems like with WIOA, you know, people went in great gangbusters and then it kind of petered out in some places. But you've been able to really sustain and strengthen the work over time. What helped you guys to be able to do that? Paul: Some of it was, I guess, probably trial and error, but definitely just continued development and expansion of these partnerships. Our blind agency Rehabilitation services for the blind. Our sister agency was a huge part of that too. And then really just working with the local Workforce boards and the Job Center staff, I know that it helps, you know, with our infrastructure agreements with the Workforce boards and making sure that because, you know, I don't always think of Missouri as I know some states are more of a one stop where people are actually under the same roof. We are not that, but we really do try to partner very closely. And those infrastructure agreements with Workforce really helped make sure there was a place for our counselors and our business folks to be under the same roof some days of the week and things like that. So I think that helped strengthen just partnerships in general. And then our employment Nexus groups, as they started to grow, just played a huge role in maintaining the partnerships. In a way, having these regularly monthly collaboration meetings have kind of built a mechanism for continued contact and communication. So I don't want to say it's forced, but it's there every month. Like we have these meetings every month and we're going to see these folks. And so we might as well work together. And it's just taken off in a really good way. Carol: Well, since you keep bringing up Nexus, we might as well talk about that next. Paul: Okay. Carol: How does that Nexus model really work at the local level? Paul: Nexus, it's really a collaboration of community partners and local businesses. We started, like I said, with one, and I think we're up to 18 different groups now. So we are very close to having all 114 counties in Missouri covered by at least one Nexus group, which I think is outstanding. And that's been our goal for the last few years to just really expand it and give opportunities for everyone in every county. Basically, there's a statewide planning committee, which is basically all of the local Nexus group planning committees, and we have a quarterly call and meeting. But as far as the local meetings go, there's a small planning committee and then there's a monthly meeting schedule and it's always it's the same time, same day every month. A typical agenda. It's open to all. We really try to invite an employer or a partner to do somewhat of a formal presentation, you know, on what they have to offer. And then there's usually an open forum where people can ask questions, and then we invite as many businesses as we can to join as well. And then there'll be time for networking and also time for those businesses to report out and tell us what they need. What are they seeing on the ground? What kind of candidates are they looking for? What kind of problems are they having that we might be able to solve? And then a real big part of those meetings are what we call Nexus Mission Moments. We actually establish a time toward the end of the meeting where people can kind of report out, like how Nexus has helped them. And it could just be a connection, it could be a connection to a candidate or maybe an existing employer with its existing employees that found out about a program that can help their employees. And those are the best. Because when you have a new partner or a new employer on the call or in the room, they hear that. And then it's kind of like, okay, what's in it for me? Well, that might be in it for me. So all of those things together have really that makes up what a Nexus meeting is. And we've just been able to, to keep the movement going. And every month we do them. So it's good. Carol: Well, I'm sure that your states, like other states where you have different sectors and different regions, like every state is different. You know, you have different parts that maybe there's more manufacturing or you might have more other kind of agricultural industry or whatever's going on depending on the quadrant of the state. And so I'm just thinking about those employer needs that are in those different areas. How do those employers in those specific regions really help shape the work of the Nexus team? Are they intricately involved? I know you've alluded to some of this, but is there something really direct that they do? Paul: Yeah. well, I can say in a few of our groups They are on the planning committees, which is great. Mercy Health and Saint Louis is a huge partner with VR and they're a great inclusive hiring partner. But yeah, they're actually on the planning committees and bring other employers with them. So that's good. And then as far as the regions, yeah, sometimes we can specialize a little bit if we're in a more rural area or an area where there's a lot of manufacturing, then we're going to be able to bring those employers into the fold and show them that, you know, we do have a talented pool of candidates that can help them. Yeah. Carol: I like it, I like it. So how is this collaboration expanded opportunities for people with disabilities? Paul: Well, I think it's created great partnerships with employers first of all. And we at VR, we might have otherwise overlooked some of those employers, to be honest, that show up for these meetings. We also at the same time, we're connecting our agency to other area partners that have complementary services, which can also help our clients. We've been able to set up company tours for entire Nexus groups, which has been awesome. You know, a company will actually invite the whole Nexus group to. Maybe we might even meet on their campus, get a tour. Learn more about a business. That way we can come back to our vocational rehabilitation counselors and clients and tell them about that. And then in some cases, we've learned about like new resources available by some local area community agencies, like community action agencies and things like that that can directly also help our clients. Nexus groups, they've partnered together to hold reverse job fairs and other events. So that's becoming a kind of a big thing. And we call them talent showcases in Missouri. But probably most importantly, I think VR has had the opportunity to educate our partners and employers just on the advantages of hiring from a talent pool of qualified individuals with disabilities. It's just a bigger audience. So it's been great. Carol: So what kind of results or changes tell you that this approach is working for you. Paul: I think anecdotally, repeat business customers as well as new business customers in attendance at our Nexus meetings in general, to me, is a huge indicator that we've made progress with relationships and partnerships. The ability to have a single point of contact within Nexus also is really big. If that works best for an employer and they've requested that we can do that within a Nexus group itself, so business can come to a Nexus meeting and basically learn all the ways our wioa partners can serve them, you know, at one meeting sometimes. Most importantly, I think we've gained access to businesses that we know are interested in our candidate pools because they return. And I can say beyond anecdotally, our employer services have increased, you know, that we would record as a direct result of attending Nexus groups and making these newfound partnerships. And I can also say, once you have that one success story with a candidate and business, it can really snowball into that business sharing nexus with other businesses. We've seen that where they call their friends at other businesses and say, hey, you've got to check this out. These folks have a talented pool of candidates, or you can learn about resources, all the things. So I have to say, word of mouth is still a great marketing tool in this business. Carol: That's good stuff. So what advice would you give another VR agency that would like to build this kind of network? I know folks have struggled like there's been this starts and stops or they're all in and then it all like kind of peters out. What advice do you have for folks? Paul: I think really building a solid foundation with your community partners and other agencies is paramount. If you start a group like Nexus or that kind of a working group with some of our Nexus groups, we had more than one initial planning meeting for networking and just to really get to know our agency partners and how they serve customers and just really get to know each other intimately before we even invite businesses to the meetings. I just think it really helps to start with like a genuine partnership where you leave like any territorial issues at the door, so to speak, and just present the group as a united team that's just simply there to serve the needs of employers without worrying about who gets the credit. It just needs it really needs to be a one team approach. And that's what's I think worked for us and kept employers coming back. I think they do recognize that. Carol: I like it. Well, and it feels like to Missouri's Workforce system is really cohesive, you know, and I'm sure looking at the role that you all are playing as part of that big network. What do you think that looks like today, maybe compared to before? Like, as you've grown this over the years, that leadership role that Missouri's taken in the Workforce system? Paul: Hmm. I think, uh, are you saying Missouri or VR? Carol: I'm talking about Missouri VR within the bigger Workforce system. Because I know you all seem to drive a lot of things that are going on down there. Paul: Yeah, I think just the growth of our Nexus groups in particular, VR can take some credit for that, for sure. And that was part of that was expanding our business services team. But we've really, really made that a priority for ourselves and our partners. Carol: And I'm sure Chris Claus, your director, who is like amazingly astute and thoughtful and loves partnering, has been a big champion for all the work that you're doing. Paul: He has been a huge champion for sure. Yeah, absolutely. Carol: Well, as we recognize National Disability Employment Awareness Month, what do you hope employers and workforce professionals take away from Missouri story? Paul: I will say for us, partnership has been just the key to success in Missouri. Don't take your WIOA and other community partners for granted. Together as a team, honestly, we've learned so much from each other and once our partners understand the way we can help our clients with disabilities and get to share in some of the successes, they really only want to contribute more. And I think that goes for our partners and our employer, partners and businesses. Carol: Good stuff. Paul, Missouri story reminds us that meaningful disability employment, it's not created through just one event, one program, or one agency working alone. It really grows through those relationships that are built locally, supported statewide and sustained over time. And you all have done a bang up job. I really appreciate having you on today. Thanks so much. Paul: Thank you. {Music} Outro Voice: Conversations powered by VR, one manager at a time. One minute at a time. Brought to you by the VRTAC.

Just when you think humanity might be turning things around, somebody takes their pants off on an airplane and an Amazon delivery driver allegedly pees on a customer's shoes. Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show.We kick things off with some old-school nostalgia as Otis Nixon baseball cards and Garbage Pail Kids emerge from the junk drawer, which naturally turns into prank ideas, teenage house parties and stories about the first time the crew encountered the cops. Then we head to the friendly skies, where another passenger is accused of getting extremely inappropriate during a flight. At this point, maybe Spirit isn't the problem. Maybe it's all of us.Things somehow get worse on the ground when an Amazon driver is caught on camera allegedly using a New York apartment hallway as his personal restroom — including furniture and a resident's shoes. Amazon reportedly offers a $50 gift card, and the crew debates the appropriate compensation for having your footwear turned into a urinal. Spoiler: fifty bucks ain't cutting it.We also dive into a viral GoFundMe that raised roughly $745,000 for an 81-year-old man working to help cover expenses while his wife battled cancer. Beautiful story… until the “concerned neighbor” who created the fundraiser turned out to actually be the couple's daughter using a fake identity. The money gets refunded, and we debate whether lying about who you are ruins a cause when the underlying hardship is reportedly real.Then Moon attempts to destroy Back to the Future Part II by pointing out a time-travel paradox involving old Biff and the sports almanac. Riz counters with the airtight scientific explanation of “wormholes,” so consider that case closed. Plus, the forgotten Back to the Future cartoon, Pat Smear smoking at the VMAs, celebrity chaos and the realization that apparently even rock stars smoking cigarettes can become an internet controversy.And finally, we test one of humanity's most important skills with Gay Bar or Steakhouse? Callers must decide what kind of establishment they're dealing with based entirely on names like Wildfire, Bourbon and Bones, Tuckaway Tavern and the Iron Bear. Moon becomes a lifeline using geography, vibes and an alarming amount of confidence.Pants-off flights, GoFundMe drama, time-travel arguments, pee-soaked shoes, teenage cop stories and businesses nobody can properly identify — just another completely normal episode of 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.4-Story Aerial Adventure Park Quietly Closes After 4 Seasons as Founder Admits ‘We're Not the Most Adventurous Town'Female Flyer Probed For Mile-High RubHuffPost Life's reporters sift through the health misinformation that's running rampant in the current administration.

Amazon Prime promises fast delivery, convenient shopping and apparently, under very specific circumstances, complimentary urination.Today's funny podcast starts with a New York City Amazon delivery nightmare caught on camera. A driver enters an apartment building, delivers the package and then allegedly decides the hallway is his personal restroom — peeing on furniture, the floor and, most importantly, a resident's shoes.That immediately raises several questions. Why would anyone do this when cameras are basically everywhere? Should you be leaving your shoes outside your apartment in the first place? And exactly how much compensation should you receive when somebody turns your New Balances into a bathroom?Amazon reportedly offered the resident a $50 gift card. He declined. The crew thinks we may need to add another zero.The conversation naturally turns into Moon defending the idea that shoes left in a hallway are basically asking for trouble, Riz defending humanity's ancient tradition of leaving shoes outside, and everybody wondering what amount of money would actually make this situation right. There's also discussion of delivery drivers in New York, the absolute chaos of driving through the city and why everybody cutting everybody else off somehow makes perfect sense.We also revisit Moon's ongoing problem with Reacher: he cannot stop watching the way Alan Ritchson walks. Once you see it, apparently there is no going back.Then this funny podcast becomes a game show with one simple question: Gay Bar or Steakhouse?Lern gives callers names of real establishments from around the country, and they have to decide whether they're looking at a place serving steaks or cocktails. Wildfire. The Albany Beehive. The Corner Pocket. Bourbon and Bones. Tuckaway Tavern. The Iron Bear. The Avenue.Easy, right?Absolutely not.Moon becomes the unofficial expert, using geography, questionable stereotypes, vibes and whatever other evidence he can manufacture to guide callers toward victory. Sometimes his logic is disturbingly effective. Other times, somebody is going home because apparently “Wildfire” does not mean what you think it means.Throw in WWE tickets, A Perfect Circle, Rise Against and Turnstile giveaways, arguments about New York, random Pittsburgh hostility and enough wildly overconfident reasoning to qualify us for several jobs we absolutely should not have, and you've got another completely normal morning with The Rizzuto Show.Amazon deliveries, contaminated shoes and trying to determine what exactly goes on inside a place called the Iron Bear — this funny podcast continues to provide the public service journalism nobody requested.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 ruins a beautiful internet story quite like finding out the “concerned neighbor” telling it was actually the guy's daughter wearing a fake identity like a cheap pair of Groucho glasses.Today's comedy podcast kicks off with the wild story of an 81-year-old Texas luggage driver who was reportedly working grueling hours while his wife battled cancer. The internet rallied around him, a GoFundMe exploded to roughly $745,000…and then the whole thing got shut down and refunded after GoFundMe discovered the woman claiming to be a caring local neighbor was actually the couple's daughter.Cool. Cool cool cool.The underlying family hardship was reportedly real, but the fake identity wasn't — which launches Riz, Lern and Moon into the bigger question: does one giant internet lie destroy an otherwise legitimate cause? We also get into the sketchier side of online fundraising, how scammers can target vulnerable people, why the show tries to vet fundraisers before sharing them, and the very important distinction between “I genuinely need help” and “Hey guys, can the entire city buy me some tires?”From there, we do what any responsible morning show would do and immediately start arguing about Back to the Future.The trilogy has somehow survived decades without Hollywood rebooting it into seventeen streaming series, three prequels and a gritty Doc Brown origin story. But Moon has a problem with Back to the Future Part II: old Biff, the sports almanac and an alternate-timeline paradox that he believes breaks the movie's own rules.Riz responds with the scientific precision of a Nobel laureate: wormholes.Case closed.We also discover — or rediscover — the largely forgotten Back to the Future animated series, where Marty McFly gets shoved aside so Doc Brown's kids Jules and Verne can carry a Saturday morning cartoon. Because apparently somebody looked at one of the most beloved movie trilogies ever made and said, “Yeah, but what if we focused on the kids?”Then Pat Smear commits the shocking act of…smoking a cigarette.At a rock awards show.The horror.After Pat lights up onstage during the Nirvana Video Vanguard Award segment at the VMAs, people online apparently have feelings about it. The crew has feelings about people having feelings about it. Along the way we learn Pat Smear's real name, admire his ability to still look cool at 67 and conclude that a guy who played in the Germs, Nirvana and Foo Fighters probably isn't sitting backstage wondering whether Twitter approves of his decisions.This comedy podcast also takes a trip back through September 29th in history, including the debut of MacGyver, the Breaking Bad finale and one absolutely ridiculous day in 1992 when Alice in Chains released Dirt and Stone Temple Pilots released Core. Kids, there used to be a thing called “albums,” and apparently we were spoiled rotten.Then Lern brings the Crap on Celebrities.Rod Stewart announces a final rock tour, Oasis heads to streaming with a reunion documentary, John Mayer prepares a multi-format Sphere residency, Miley Cyrus lands back atop the charts, and we briefly discover how aggravating band names become when nobody knows how the hell they're supposed to be pronounced.Nick Cannon is also bringing cameras into the circus that is raising 12 children with six different women, which naturally leaves everyone wondering when this man sleeps considering he also appears to have approximately 46 jobs.Plus, Tom Cruise randomly makes one worker's day, we remember Saved by the Bell's Mr. Belding, debate some supposedly overrated movies, celebrate celebrity birthdays and once again prove that nostalgia is basically the gasoline keeping this entire show running.It's scams, movies, rock stars, celebrities, questionable logic and grown adults arguing about fictional time-travel mechanics.In other words, 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.
Another crisp Tuesday morning with The Rizzuto Show begins exactly where all respectable entertainment should: Otis Nixon baseball cards and the mysterious ecosystem living inside the average American junk drawer.Riz remembers opening pack after pack of baseball cards only to discover another Otis Nixon staring back at him, while cleaning out the house uncovers Garbage Pail Kids, mystery keys, dead pens and a remote control belonging to a television nobody can identify. Naturally, this becomes a discussion about stealing your friend's dad's remote as a prank, because this funny podcast remains deeply committed to helping society.Then we head directly into teenage trouble.After a kid's first big party in Columbus gets busted before he can even properly arrive, the crew starts swapping stories about their own first encounters with the cops. We've got bonfires, house parties, teenagers scattering into the woods, ATV escapes, cops waiting at the bottom of cliffs and the timeless adolescent strategy of running first and figuring out where the hell you are later.Back in St. Louis, Rise Adventure Park has officially closed after only a few seasons, and one of its founders suggests St. Louis might simply not be adventurous enough to keep something like a massive four-story obstacle course alive. Lern takes slight offense. Moon investigates. Riz immediately sees an opportunity for a data center. Somewhere, the spirit of local tourism quietly packs its bags.But then we get on an airplane, and everything gets considerably worse.For the second time in roughly a week, the show has to discuss a passenger allegedly engaging in some extremely inappropriate solo activities during a flight — except this time, it's a woman accused of removing her pants during a Baltimore-to-Miami trip. That launches a much bigger debate about public behavior, double standards, accountability, why anyone else on an airplane should ever have to deal with this nonsense, and whether maybe we should just ground all the planes until humanity can prove it deserves them again.Yes, this funny podcast occasionally asks the important questions.And just when everybody gets sufficiently irritated, Riz discovers something called “irritable male syndrome,” which may finally provide middle-aged men everywhere with the medical-sounding excuse they've been waiting for. It's not an official diagnosis, but that certainly isn't going to stop anybody around here from using it immediately.From Otis Nixon and Garbage Pail Kids to teenage cop stories, St. Louis adventures, airborne insanity and getting grumpier with age, this episode is another reminder that The Rizzuto Show can begin with a kitchen drawer and somehow end up involving the FBI.That's not poor planning. That's a 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.
Deuxième épisode de notre voyage sur la route 66. À un mois des élections de mi-mandat aux États-Unis, Vincent Souriau prend le pouls des Américains sur ce tracé mythique qui traverse huit États du centre du pays. Et nous faisons étape à Saint-Louis dans le Missouri aujourd'hui. Plongée au cœur d'un gravissime problème de santé publique qui se fait entendre dans la campagne des élections de mi-mandat : la crise du fentanyl. Cette drogue de synthèse surpuissante qui tue chaque année des dizaines de milliers de personnes et dont les autorités américaines sont jusqu'ici incapables de juguler le trafic.

À l'échelle mondiale, on estime qu'au moins la moitié de la population est bilingue et parle quotidiennement deux langues ou deux dialectes différents, selon l'Unesco. La question de transmettre ou non sa langue natale à son enfant se pose donc de plus en plus. Pour de nombreuses familles, cette transmission n'est pas une évidence. En France, selon une étude de l'institut One Poll, un Français issu de l'immigration sur quatre n'a pas appris la langue maternelle de ses parents ou de ses grands-parents. En partie, par crainte des discriminations. Ainsi l'arabe, deuxième langue la plus parlée en France, est sept fois moins transmise que l'anglais. Dévalorisation de la langue maternelle, crainte que les enfants ne maitrisent pas bien la langue du pays dans lequel ils vivent ou manquent de méthodes, les obstacles sur la route du bilinguisme sont nombreux. Pourtant la langue est bien plus qu'un outil de communication. C'est à travers elle qu'on transmet ses valeurs, ses croyances, son identité. L'acquisition du langage est également essentielle au développement de l'enfant pour comprendre et se faire comprendre. Alors, comment transmettre sa langue natale sans pression pour les parents et les enfants ? Faut-il commencer dès la naissance ? À quel moment peut-on dire que son enfant est réellement bilingue ? Le bilinguisme peut-il être un atout pour le reste de ses apprentissages ? Avec : • Mirana Andrianasy, responsable des projets de formation au sein de l'association Dulala (D'Une Langue À l'Autre) qui accompagne les professionnels et les parents pour que les enfants qui grandissent avec d'autres langues que le français à la maison puissent s'épanouir et développer tout leur potentiel • Amalini Simon, psychologue, directrice du centre Babel, centre de ressources transculturelles, de formation et de médiations à destination des professionnels des services publics.

En France, selon une étude de l'institut One Poll, un Français issu de l'immigration sur quatre n'a pas appris la langue maternelle de ses parents ou de ses grands-parents. En partie, par crainte des discriminations. Ainsi l'arabe, deuxième langue la plus parlée en France, est sept fois moins transmise que l'anglais. Dévalorisation de la langue maternelle, crainte que les enfants ne maitrisent pas bien la langue du pays dans lequel ils vivent ou manquent de méthodes, les obstacles sur la route du bilinguisme sont nombreux. Pourtant la langue est bien plus qu'un outil de communication. C'est à travers elle qu'on transmet ses valeurs, ses croyances, son identité. L'acquisition du langage est également essentielle au développement de l'enfant pour comprendre et se faire comprendre. Alors, comment transmettre sa langue natale sans pression pour les parents et les enfants ? Faut-il commencer dès la naissance ? À quel moment peut-on dire que son enfant est réellement bilingue ? Le bilinguisme peut-il être un atout pour le reste de ses apprentissages ? Avec : • Mirana Andrianasy, responsable des projets de formation au sein de l'association Dulala (D'Une Langue À l'Autre) qui accompagne les professionnels et les parents pour que les enfants qui grandissent avec d'autres langues que le français à la maison puissent s'épanouir et développer tout leur potentiel • Amalini Simon, psychologue, directrice du centre Babel, centre de ressources transculturelles, de formation et de médiations à destination des professionnels des services publics.

Deuxième épisode de notre voyage sur la route 66. À un mois des élections de mi-mandat aux États-Unis, Vincent Souriau prend le pouls des Américains sur ce tracé mythique qui traverse huit États du centre du pays. Et nous faisons étape à Saint-Louis dans le Missouri aujourd'hui. Plongée au cœur d'un gravissime problème de santé publique qui se fait entendre dans la campagne des élections de mi-mandat : la crise du fentanyl. Cette drogue de synthèse surpuissante qui tue chaque année des dizaines de milliers de personnes et dont les autorités américaines sont jusqu'ici incapables de juguler le trafic.

Taylor Swift has new music, and Todd Rundgren has apparently chosen violence. The crew digs into his brutal assessment of Taylor, whether her new songs are actually mediocre, and Moon's theory that maybe she's simply too happy to write the same kind of emotionally charged music. Apparently misery really does love a catchy chorus.Meanwhile, Moon returns after an illness tore through his house and possibly made the jump to the family dog, while Riz gets an unexpected ego boost when cops breaking up a massive teenage house party seemingly mistake him for one of the kids. Sure, buddy. We'll give you this one.Then relationships come under investigation. Should you warn your spouse before completely changing your hair? What happens when Lern's hairy husband suddenly decides to go full mole rat? And why do so many people keep dating partners who look suspiciously like previous partners? We dive into “doppelgänger dating” and discover some of us apparently have a type so specific we're just recasting the same role.We also tackle the horrifying cost of modern weddings, including the national average topping $34,000 and stories of luxury weddings with celebrity chefs, all-night parties and obscene amounts of money spent on flowers. Suddenly the courthouse is looking pretty sexy.Plus, teenage party chaos, parenting stories, celebrity news and an argument over what should be the easiest food order imaginable: a plain cheeseburger. What exactly does “plain” mean? Meat and cheese? Meat and bun? Apparently we need the Supreme Court involved.Taylor Swift debates, household plagues, hairy men, expensive weddings, teenage ragers and grown adults nearly coming to blows over burger toppings — just another perfectly normal episode of 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.Substitute teacher loses job for having an OnlyFans account to pay the bills: ‘Sex sells'‘It's disgusting': Hidden cameras discovered inside restaurant restrooms, employee arrestedOhio Custodian Arrested After Allegedly Hiding In Women's Soccer Team's Locker Room Ceiling And Taking PhotosFive Guys Employee Says a Customer Ordered a “Plain” Cheeseburger — Then Got Angry Because “There's Nothing on It”Instagram's new feature is being called 'humiliating' as users fear it could lead to breakupsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Taylor Swift has new songs, the internet has opinions, and Todd Rundgren apparently woke up ready for violence. He calls Taylor the “pinnacle of mediocrity,” questions her singing, songwriting and dancing, and praises Lady Gaga instead — so naturally our comedy podcast has to determine whether the 78-year-old music legend has a point or is simply yelling at a very successful cloud.Moon has another theory: maybe Taylor is just too happy. We get into why heartbreak, struggle and those giant emotional “mountains” can fuel great songwriting — and what happens when an artist finally gets everything they wanted and has to write songs about being happy instead. Apparently the secret to great art might be having your personal life go horribly wrong. Fantastic.Then it's into the VMAs, where Taylor wins again, Madonna teams up with Sabrina Carpenter, Nirvana gets honored and Riz discovers there are several current pop stars he absolutely cannot identify. We also get Pearl Jam drummer talk, music history and a quick detour into Todd Rundgren's catalog because if you're going to roast Taylor Swift, we're checking your homework too.Finally, this comedy podcast dives into a ranking of the 100 best TV shows of the 21st century. Breaking Bad takes #1, The Wire lands at #2, Game of Thrones is #6 and somehow Better Call Saul sits at #27. Moon also discovers that he can't fully enjoy Reacher because he's too distracted by the way Alan Ritchson walks.Taylor Swift debates, music industry arguments, celebrity news and unnecessary observations about television characters — another perfectly reasonable 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.
We're starting the week optimistic… which lasts approximately long enough for Moon to explain how an illness tore through his house, knocked him out of the show and may have eventually reached the dog. Nothing says funny podcast quite like debating DayQuil while discussing a sick Chiweenie.Then Riz gets the ego boost of a lifetime when cops shut down a massive high school house party in his neighborhood and he becomes convinced an officer mistook him for one of the teenagers. We also discover that kids are STILL TPing houses, which leads the dads into giving entirely too much tactical advice about proper toilet-paper throwing. Apparently juvenile pranks are a proud American tradition.Elsewhere, a St. Louis-area substitute teacher loses her job after her OnlyFans account is discovered, kicking off a debate about teachers, side hustles and whether certain professions should be held to different standards. Then things get significantly creepier with stories involving hidden cameras in public bathrooms and a custodian allegedly spying on college athletes from inside a drop ceiling. Humanity continues its undefeated streak of making everything weird.And because this funny podcast tackles the issues that truly matter, we eventually arrive at an argument over burgers. What exactly does “plain cheeseburger” mean? Meat and cheese? Meat and bread? Does “regular” mean toppings? Should you just go to McDonald's if that's what you wanted? Somehow ordering lunch now requires contract negotiations.Add in dead neighborhood fish, 90s music, teenage rock stars, parenting adventures and the usual collection of completely unnecessary side quests, and you've got another perfectly normal 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.
Rizz finished dead last in the football picks, which means the punishment wheel is coming for him. Conference room karaoke? Wig week? Crocs mascot week? Truck stop makeover? Whatever happens, he has nobody to blame but himself and his bold strategy of making picks based entirely on his heart.Then this daily podcast gets into a relationship dilemma: should you give your spouse a heads-up before making a major change to your appearance? A husband is upset after his blonde wife unexpectedly comes home brunette, which sends the crew into hair politics. Lern doesn't need permission to change her hair, but she knows Tim hates bangs. Riz admits he once had a terrible reaction when Amelia cut her hair short. And if Tim ever removes his chest hair, Lern would apparently like to be consulted before he transforms himself into a mole rat.Of course, Riz once bought an entire Jeep without telling his wife, so perhaps he shouldn't be leading the seminar on communication.Then we discover getting married now requires approximately the same financial planning as invading a small country. The average U.S. wedding ceremony and reception costs $34,200, with Missouri averaging around $26,000 and Illinois hitting $38,000. Chicago? About $54,000. Suddenly eloping at the courthouse and going to Chili's afterward sounds incredibly romantic.That leads to stories about the fanciest weddings the crew has attended, including one at New York's Plaza Hotel with an Iron Chef rolling sushi, smoking allowed indoors, breakfast served at 4 a.m. and a reported half-million dollars spent on flowers. Meanwhile, most of us are wondering whether the open bar includes domestic beer.Finally, this daily podcast investigates “doppelgänger dating” — the idea that people are often attracted to familiar physical traits and may repeatedly date partners who look strangely similar. The crew compares their own dating histories, discusses couples who eventually start dressing alike, and determines that, yes, plenty of us absolutely have a type.Bad football picks, surprise brunettes, hairy husbands, weddings that cost a down payment and realizing your dating history looks like somebody hit copy and paste — another deeply educational daily 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.
“Archbishop Fulton Sheen is beatified during a historic Mass in Saint Louis. And an annual conference equips young people to answer God's calling for their lives.”
Happy National One-Hit Wonder Day! The Rizzuto Show celebrates by attempting to determine the greatest musical one-and-done of all time, and the nominees are basically a playlist from the weirdest wedding reception imaginable.“Take on Me,” “Come on Eileen,” “Tainted Love,” “Mambo No. 5,” “Mickey,” “Kung Fu Fighting,” “Baby Got Back,” “Somebody That I Used to Know,” “Tubthumping” and plenty more enter the conversation before the supposed number-one one-hit wonder is finally revealed: “Macarena.” Lern immediately objects, because apparently even the Macarena requires litigation on this funny podcast.Before that, we discover a former 7-Eleven in Seattle has become the “Inconvenience Store,” an art experience where everything inside is deliberately inconvenient. Tangled USB cords? Check. Shoulder bags made from chip bags? Of course. Finally, somebody has captured the experience of looking for a charging cable in your junk drawer and monetized it.Crap on Celebrities brings the first-ever Dolly Parton Day, a celebration tied to September 25 and the Imagination Library. Lern is also preparing for the Back to the Beginning concert screening, Turnstile anticipation is reaching dangerous levels, and Nick Cannon's 12 children somehow spark the fairly reasonable question of whether it's physically possible to be present for that many kids.Things get considerably messier with Brooke Hogan discussing how her relationship with Hulk Hogan changed after his affair with one of her close friends. Yes. Her friend. The crew processes that extremely uncomfortable family dynamic exactly as professionally as you'd expect.Then this funny podcast heads into entertainment chaos with Gremlins 3, Morgan Freeman pushing back against unauthorized AI clones of his unmistakable voice, Marvel reportedly adding material to Endgame, and Nicolas Cage and Christian Bale transforming into John Madden and Al Davis. Rafe thinks Christian Bale nails it. Nicolas Cage remains impressively incapable of disguising the fact that he is Nicolas Cage.There are also movie recommendations, celebrity birthdays and Rafe promoting his upcoming Funny Bone shows — where apparently somebody has listed two resale tickets for $600. Please do not do that. Just buy the significantly cheaper real tickets and use the leftover money to purchase an irresponsible amount of Brazilian steakhouse beforehand.And finally, one of the show's finest institutions returns: Porn Star or Weatherman.Rafe reads a name. The contestant has to decide whether that person works in adult entertainment or professionally tells you there's a 40% chance of rain. Get two out of three and concert tickets are on the line. Lern is available as a lifeline because, in her own words, she loves both weather people and pornography.One-hit wonders, Dolly celebrations, celebrity insanity, inconvenient art, AI voice theft and the eternal struggle to determine whether a suspiciously glamorous name belongs to a meteorologist — another educational 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.
Moon is sick, and The Rizzuto Show has officially instituted a new workplace policy: WE DON'T NEED HEROES. Stay home. Keep your germs away from Scott's newborn, Rafe's ancient dog and everybody else who has things to do besides spending the weekend fighting whatever plague you dragged into the studio.This daily comedy show then recaps the crew's broadcast from Scott Air Force Base, where Hockley's Bakery brought coffee cake and former NFL player Carey Davis apparently turned eating it into performance art. Rizz is trying to avoid sweets, so naturally he asks Carey to describe every bite while making direct eye contact and licking his fingers. Totally normal breakfast behavior.Things take a serious turn with a disturbing St. Louis story involving a 63-year-old retired truck driver who was attacked by multiple people after a minor car accident. A bystander recorded the assault, helping police identify suspects, but the video sparks a bigger conversation: if you witness someone being attacked, what should you actually do? Do you physically intervene and risk becoming another victim? Record evidence? Call police? The crew wrestles with where being a Good Samaritan ends and unnecessarily putting yourself in danger begins.That debate rolls right into MetroLink's new turnstiles, where riders have reported people “piggybacking” through behind paying passengers. Officials say not to engage, but Rafe and Lern quickly develop a significantly less official solution involving The Crow, a trench coat and vigilante MetroLink justice. Somewhere, Batman's attorneys are already preparing a cease-and-desist.Then this daily comedy show gets into a much more dangerous trend: Galaxy Gas and recreational nitrous oxide use. After discussing a case involving a young man who reportedly lost his ability to walk after prolonged use, the crew runs through other health trends doctors are concerned about, including vaping, ketamine, energy drinks, e-bikes and influencer medicine. Turns out getting your medical advice from somebody dancing next to floating captions may have some drawbacks.Relationship court is also in session after a woman writes in about her boyfriend refusing to actually say “I love you” after a year together. Instead, she gets “you too,” “love you, mean it” and — brace yourself — “wuv you.” Rizz would like him removed from society immediately. The crew debates when couples should finally say the L-word, whether love at first sight exists and how much baby talk one adult relationship can survive.And because parenting wasn't already complicated enough, apparently “park crawls” are becoming a birthday-party thing, with kids hitting multiple playgrounds and even riding party buses between stops. That leads to the eternal argument over whether adults without children are allowed to give parenting advice. Lern says absolutely. Rizz says you can give whatever advice you want — parents are equally free to throw it directly in the trash.Sick coworkers, seductive coffee cake, Good Samaritan dilemmas, MetroLink vigilantes, questionable health trends, “wuv you” and children apparently living the party-bus lifestyle before they can drive — another completely responsible daily comedy 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.
Tommy Davidson is back in the studio, and before we can properly discuss his decades in comedy, we have to address the important stuff: New York accents, breakfast hot dogs and the cruel moment when heartburn finally comes for you.Tommy talks about touring arenas with Katt Williams, being home during the week with his family and what it's actually like backstage on one of those massive comedy tours. He also celebrates finally getting The Varnell Hill Show made after seven years of work and explains how a late-night conversation with Kid from Kid 'n Play eventually helped revive the character he first played on Martin more than 30 years ago.Then this comedy podcast gets the story we've been waiting for: the backpack scene from Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. Tommy reveals the gag was dreamed up that morning, somebody basically asked if he could physically fit inside a bag, and the answer was yes — for about five minutes before survival became an issue. He also remembers Jim Carrey getting a bulldozer brought in while filming because Tommy needed to finish the scene and catch a flight.Tommy opens up about his longtime friendship with Jim Carrey, going all the way back to their Comedy Store days before In Living Color. Their daughters were the same age, they struggled for gigs together, and years later they're still close. He also remembers the insanity of In Living Color becoming appointment television, when people would actually call your house immediately after an episode aired instead of posting their review from a couch in Buffalo.From there, we ask Tommy to weigh in on some alleged Hollywood “open secrets,” which leads to stories involving Harvey Weinstein, celebrity culture and his own history with Sean “Diddy” Combs. Tommy recalls Diddy working as an assistant on his first movie in the early '90s and later attending one of his parties — an experience that eventually convinced Tommy he had no interest in going back.There's also a Morgan Freeman encounter that did NOT go according to plan, Tommy's friendship with Stevie Wonder and the eternal internet conspiracy over whether Stevie can somehow sense exactly who is standing nearby. Just a completely normal day on a comedy podcast.But the conversation takes a powerful turn when Tommy shares the incredible story of his childhood. He talks about being found abandoned as an infant, being adopted by white parents involved in civil-rights work, growing up in Wyoming and Colorado, and later confronting racism from completely different directions after his family moved to Washington, D.C. It's a remarkable piece of his life story wrapped inside a conversation that somehow also includes communes, puppies and the 21st Wayans brother.Tommy also talks about his music ambitions, his new projects and his upcoming shows at Helium before sending us out with a Led Zeppelin-inspired Kool-Aid performance nobody knew they needed.Katt Williams. Jim Carrey. Ace Ventura. Hollywood secrets. Stevie Wonder. Heartburn. Breakfast hot dogs.

The studio cameras are down, somebody needs to get on the roof with some tinfoil, and The Rizzuto Show is temporarily experiencing the ancient broadcasting tradition known as “radio.” Honestly, everybody seems a little too happy about it. While the greatest technical minds in the building allegedly work on the problem, the crew previews Tommy Davidson's return and somehow ends up comparing impeccably dressed comedy guests to the occasional comedian who arrives smelling like they lost a fight with a shower.Then we celebrate September 24 by traveling back to one of the greatest stretches in music history. September 24, 1991 gave us Nirvana's Nevermind, Red Hot Chili Peppers' Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger and A Tribe Called Quest's The Low End Theory. Add Pearl Jam, Metallica, U2, Cypress Hill and everything else happening around 1991, and the crew realizes an entire generation basically had its musical operating system installed in the span of a few months.From there, this funny podcast heads directly into Crap on Celebrities, where Madonna leads the MTV VMA nominations and Moon remembers something very important: she technically owes him dinner. Back when Moon's band signed with Maverick, they were allegedly promised a Madonna meeting when the record went gold. They went gold twice. No dinner. Rizz sweetens the deal by offering Moon $500 if he ever produces photographic evidence of Madonna paying for that meal. The clock is ticking, Moon.Taylor Swift has new music coming, the BTS Army is apparently battling Woody, and Rush is helping fund a Neil Peart memorial featuring larger-than-life bronze statues. Naturally, this inspires Rizz to request the only artistic tribute worthy of his legacy: a giant butter sculpture. Preferably climate controlled. Possibly edible.Then Benny Blanco enters the chat with a passionate argument that couples should normalize farting around each other. This launches an extremely mature discussion about gastrointestinal relationship etiquette, whether Selena Gomez participates, and exactly how much romance can survive after dinner. Lern admits there is strategy involved. Rizz maintains standards. Moon mostly seems fascinated by the entire situation. Somewhere, love wins. Unfortunately, it smells terrible.The celebrity chaos keeps coming when U2 announces new music and Rizz immediately detects what he describes as an “air of arrogance,” leading Moon to accuse him of joining the fashionable Bono-hating bandwagon. Nothing says funny podcast quite like grown men debating whether one of the biggest rock bands in history is trying too hard while accidentally playing Benny Blanco audio instead of the new U2 song.Things somehow get even more '90s when Jonathan Taylor Thomas — yes, JTT himself — lands back in the headlines. According to the story discussed on the show, JTT was arrested after allegedly interfering with a traffic stop, repeatedly getting out of the vehicle and eventually kicking a deputy in the stomach. The kid from Home Improvement. Randy Taylor. Kicking a cop. Suddenly the crew realizes the '90s aren't just back; they're apparently furious.There's also an extremely strange Elizabeth Holmes documentary from Nathan Fielder, movie recommendations for King Scott, a new documentary revisiting theories about whether O.J. Simpson had an accomplice, Jean Smart joining a sequel to The Family Stone, and original Charlie Bucket actor Peter Ostrum returning to the Wonka universe decades after making one movie and wisely becoming a veterinarian instead of spending his entire life dealing with Hollywood.Plus, Dolly Parton family estate drama gets unpacked, celebrity birthdays arrive, and the crew prepares for a special podcast taping at Scott Air Force Base before Simpleton Trivia begins.Broken cameras. Historic rock albums. Madonna owing Moon dinner. Celebrity fart philosophy. U2 arguments. JTT going rogue. O.J. theories refusing to die.

How exactly are adults supposed to greet each other anymore? The Rizzuto Show dives into the surprisingly complicated world of handshakes, hugs, waves, kisses on the cheek and the absolutely unhinged 1% of people who apparently greet somebody new with a kiss directly on the lips.The crew breaks down their personal greeting rules, including Moon's policy of always standing up for a handshake, when it's acceptable to hug somebody you're meeting for the first time and why you should probably avoid embracing the HR rep during a job interview. Lern also reveals there are people in her life who greet both her AND her husband with a kiss on the lips, which sends this comedy show into exactly the mature discussion you'd expect.Then it's time for Simpleton Trivia — the game designed to prove there's no such thing as a simple question once a 45-second timer starts ticking.Listeners can either take on ten supposedly easy questions themselves for two pairs of tickets or hand the pressure over to Moon, Lern or King Scott and bet on whether they'll survive. With Metallica, Breaking Benjamin, Turnstile and Rafe Williams tickets on the line, suddenly remembering basic multiplication becomes a life-or-death situation.And the math absolutely destroys everybody.One contestant makes it all the way to the final question before running out of time on 8×7. Moon cruises through ocean tides, planets, penguins and gravity before 9×6 sends his brain directly into the ditch. Another caller dominates until 12×8 arrives. King Scott makes it to question ten before confidently deciding 63 divided by 7 is seven.The pressure is undefeated.Lern finally gets her shot after a caller trusts her with his Metallica dreams, only for 75 minus 30 to briefly become 44 before she corrects herself to 45 — approximately one second too late. She demands another round for redemption and immediately answers 13×2 with 36.At that point, this comedy show might as well apologize to every elementary-school teacher in St. Louis.There are also spectacular non-math failures, including one contestant being asked which Toy Story cowboy says “there's a snake in my boot” and confidently answering Buzz Lightyear. Close, if by close you mean an entirely different character whose whole thing is being a spaceman.By the end, only one winner emerges, former teachers are catching strays and everyone has learned a valuable lesson: you can know the answer your entire life, but the second someone starts a timer and offers you Metallica tickets, 9×6 becomes advanced calculus.Awkward hugs, lip kisses, failed multiplication and Simpleton Trivia humiliating everyone equally — another highly educational comedy 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.
Apparently nobody knows how to interact with other humans anymore, so The Rizzuto Show is here to make things significantly worse. We start with the surprisingly complicated rules of greeting people: handshake or hug? Do you stand up to shake someone's hand? Is a kiss on the cheek acceptable? And who are these absolute maniacs greeting people they just met with a kiss on the lips?Then fall arrives with “candlescaping,” Lern prepares to make her entire existence smell like autumn, and Gen Z informs millennials that it's time to retire “LOL.” Unfortunately, the crew has no intention of cooperating. We also get into why adulthood seems to fly by faster every year, questionable lawsuits, AirTag tracking and one airplane story involving some extremely inappropriate behavior that guarantees you'll never look at your seat assignment the same way again.Crap on Celebrities brings us back to 1991 and one of the most ridiculous stretches of rock releases ever, including Nirvana's Nevermind, Red Hot Chili Peppers' Blood Sugar Sex Magik and Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger. Moon also remembers that Madonna technically owes him dinner, Benny Blanco starts a conversation about whether couples should normalize farting around each other, and Jonathan Taylor Thomas lands in headlines for behavior that definitely wasn't covered on Home Improvement.Finally, Simpleton Trivia proves once again that intelligence completely disappears when concert tickets and a 45-second timer are involved. Basic multiplication takes down contestant after contestant, Moon forgets 9×6, Lern briefly turns 75 minus 30 into 44, and somebody mistakes Buzz Lightyear for the cowboy from Toy Story. Somewhere, an elementary-school teacher quietly removes The Rizzuto Show from their résumé.Awkward hugs, candlescaping, generational warfare, celebrity farts, '90s nostalgia and grown adults getting absolutely demolished by third-grade math — just another perfectly educational episode of 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.Fall Candlescaping—Here's How to Layer Scent and Light Throughout Your HomeGen Z Can't Get Enough Of The "Boob Rest" PoseFeel Like Time Is Speeding Up?

Fall is officially here, so naturally The Rizzuto Show begins with “candlescaping” — the art of strategically filling your home with complementary candles, fragrances and enough open flames to make Moon deeply uncomfortable. Lern is ready for soup, Halloween decorations and a house that smells like books, while Rizz reveals his family was apparently ahead of the candle game with legendary corn cob candles. Finally, the family legacy gets the recognition it deserves.Then this daily comedy discovers Gen Z would like millennials to stop ending texts with “LOL.” Apparently it can come across as passive-aggressive, dismissive or even hostile, which is unfortunate because the crew plans to pry LOL from its cold, dead hands. Things only get worse when Rizz introduces the alleged replacements, including “laughing in my head,” “laughing by obligation,” “laughing so I don't cry” and the painfully relatable “hanging by a thread.”Speaking of hanging by a thread, why does life suddenly feel like it's moving at warp speed? The crew gets into research about why childhood summers felt endless while adulthood disappears in approximately seven business minutes. The discussion turns surprisingly nostalgic as everyone remembers childhood homes, smells, sunlight, routines and why trying new things might help life feel a little longer. Moon recommends creating new experiences. Rizz suggests robbing a bank. Please follow Moon's advice.Then this daily comedy heads to court. A woman is seeking millions after suffering a serious injury when she fell from the stage during the St. Louis Blues' 2019 Stanley Cup celebration, sparking a debate over event security versus personal responsibility. That leads Rizz to reveal why a planned Rizz Show '90s cruise never happened: apparently corporate lawyers were slightly concerned somebody might get hammered and jump off the ship. Fun continues to be undefeated by liability insurance.The legal debate continues with a lawsuit involving a woman whose ex allegedly used an AirTag hidden under her car to track her movements. Her iPhone was supposed to warn her about an unknown AirTag traveling with her, but she says she never received the alert. The crew debates where responsibility falls when technology designed to help find lost stuff gets used by terrible people.And then we get to the flight.A 25-year-old passenger says the man seated beside her began openly “Joeing” while staring at her during a flight. She reports it to the crew, but with no open seats available, she ends up standing in the aisle before eventually having to return to her assigned seat for landing. Lern shares her own experience encountering public Joeing, Moon tries to understand how nobody intervened, and the show reaches one unanimous conclusion: Joe at home, everybody.Candles, LOL wars, childhood nostalgia, courtroom debates, creepy technology and the absolute worst possible airline seatmate — another perfectly relaxing 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.
The Rizzuto Show starts with a genuine modern miracle: Rizz renewed his license plates online without being forced into a Missouri DMV. No line, no mysterious missing paperwork, no spending the afternoon wondering if he now legally lives there. Naturally, this achievement leads to airport talk, the real-life man who lived at Charles de Gaulle Airport for years, St. Louis getting more nonstop flights to London, and an important debate over whether wearing matching pajamas on a plane is directly responsible for the collapse of civilized society.Then things get significantly less classy.A DoorDash driver gets into a serious car accident while making a delivery — and the customer actually shows up to the crash scene to retrieve his food. The crew debates the important questions: Do you still tip? Can you deduct a star because technically the delivery didn't make it all the way? And at what point does “you good, bro?” become sufficient medical assistance?Speaking of questionable decisions, a woman tries to delay a breathalyzer test by drinking toilet water inside a jail. Yes, toilet water. Yes, it reportedly contained exactly what you're afraid it contained. And yes, after all that, she still blew a .26. This somehow transitions perfectly into New York City's new robo toilets, which give users a strict 10-minute limit before the door automatically opens to the street. Finally, public restrooms with the added excitement of a game-show timer.The financial decisions aren't much better. A Powerball winner keeps finding new and creative ways to get arrested after winning more than $160 million, while a viral TikTok sends the show into a full financial-literacy intervention after a young woman discovers that grocery-store “cash back” is not free money from the store — it's coming out of her own checking account. Apparently we've reached the point where explaining debit cards is now public service broadcasting.That gets everyone sharing their own financial mistakes, including Rizz discovering years ago that nobody had been withholding taxes from his paycheck and suddenly owing $10,000. Add in the bills that make everyone irrationally angry, the ongoing struggle to teach kids how money actually works, and the realization that adulthood is mostly paying people money while quietly asking, “Wait… what am I paying you for again?”It's DMV victories, airport pajamas, wrecked DoorDash deliveries, toilet-water strategy, robo bathrooms, lottery chaos and cash-back confusion — another daily comedy show proving that humanity continues to operate with absolutely no instruction manual.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 robots are officially fighting back, and unfortunately they already appear to have the upper hand. This comedy podcast kicks off with the viral video of Frankie LaPenna stepping into a cage with a six-foot humanoid robot that throws punches, lands kicks and sends him flying across the mat. Frankie even reportedly broke his hand fighting the thing, which feels like a pretty solid indication that maybe we should stop giving robots combat training.Naturally, the crew immediately wonders whether robot fighting is the future of entertainment, warfare or both. Rizz would watch robots fight between UFC matches. He'd probably gamble on them, too. Lern is already worried about humanoids destroying marriages. We're handling the technological revolution beautifully.Then Crap on Celebrities brings plenty of music chaos, including Turnstile news, Ella Langley breaking a major chart record, the debate over whether artists eventually hate playing their biggest hits, a George Michael tribute, Lionel Richie's health update and James Hetfield explaining why Tony Iommi remains such a massive influence on Metallica.Things get considerably messier when this comedy podcast dives into drama surrounding Dolly Parton's estate. Her nephew Brian Seaver — the same person who announced her death — has reportedly been removed from several properties after spending decades overseeing operations and security. Allegations start flying, restraining orders enter the conversation, and suddenly everyone is guessing how much Dolly's entire estate might actually be worth.The crew also gets into Jeff Garlin's comments about The Goldbergs, a new Darkwing Duck series, HBO's Lanterns and an upcoming Norm Macdonald documentary before Lern launches a game exposing everybody's knowledge of rock stars' real names.Alice Cooper? Easy. David Bowie? Sure. Elton John? Got it. But then Billy Idol, Eddie Vedder, Iggy Pop, Joni Mitchell, Nikki Sixx and Stevie Wonder start showing up under the names their mothers actually gave them, and everybody's confidence begins collapsing in real time.Finally, Do It Bitch is ready to return with Metallica, Breaking Benjamin, Turnstile and Rafe Williams tickets on the line. Moon and Lern face King Scott and Rafe in the only game where wildly overestimating your coworker's ability to name things in ten seconds is considered strategy.Humanoid cage fights, rock-star aliases, celebrity chaos, Dolly drama and coworkers aggressively yelling “Do It, Bitch!” at each other for prizes — another completely future-proof 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.
Do It Bitch is back, and somehow a simple radio game immediately turns into a full-blown legal proceeding. Team Moon and Lern takes on King Scott and Rafe Williams as callers pick sides for a shot at Metallica, Breaking Benjamin, Turnstile and Rafe tickets — and this funny podcast discovers that naming things under pressure is apparently much harder than it sounds.First up: shoe brands. Lern needs nine in ten seconds and immediately learns how quickly your brain abandons you when a clock starts ticking. Then King Scott gets U.S. states beginning with M and briefly attempts to welcome Mexico into the union. Geography teachers everywhere just felt a disturbance in the force.But the real controversy arrives with potato chip flavors. Rafe needs six, throws out nacho cheese, and suddenly everybody becomes a snack-food attorney arguing over whether nacho cheese actually exists as a potato chip flavor. Phones come out. Evidence is presented. Yellow cards are issued. Somehow nobody gets escorted from the studio.Then this funny podcast moves into professional sports leagues, where things get even messier. Does the WWF count separately from WWE? What about the UFL? The United Hockey League? Defunct organizations? Name changes? By the end, nobody knows whether they're playing a game or arguing a case before the Supreme Court of Sports Trivia.After the dust settles, Blues broadcaster Chris Kerber joins the show to talk St. Louis Blues training camp, including the story of Hubbard general manager John Kijowski casually squeezing himself between Blues executives at the glass like he'd just been promoted to assistant GM.Kerber also explains what it's like calling preseason hockey when the roster is packed with unfamiliar names, leading to a fantastic tour through NHL pronunciation nightmares. The crew gets into Alexey Toropchenko-level linguistic gymnastics, the Petrangelo pronunciation debate, Colton Parayko and the terrifying possibility of multiple impossible names hitting the ice at the same time.There's also some perspective on just how ridiculously talented professional athletes are — even the players fans casually call “bad” — while the rest of us consider walking inside instead of using the drive-thru to be our cardio for the week.Potato chip litigation, geography failures, obscure sports leagues, Blues training camp and enough difficult hockey names to make a broadcaster fake an equipment failure — another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show where the rules are made up, the arguments are real and apparently everybody can get yellow-carded.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 robots are fighting back, and apparently humanity's best defense is… Frankie Lap. The crew gets into the viral humanoid robot cage fight that ended with Frankie reportedly breaking his hand, which naturally leads to questions about robot sports, robot warfare and whether we're maybe giving these things a little too much training before they inevitably decide they don't need us anymore.Then Do It Bitch returns, where simple categories become impossible the second a ten-second clock starts ticking. Shoe brands send Lern scrambling, King Scott briefly attempts to make Mexico a U.S. state, and potato chip flavors trigger an on-air legal battle over whether nacho cheese counts. By the time everyone starts arguing over the WWF, WWE, UFL and United Hockey League, the game has basically become sports trivia court with Rizz handing out yellow cards.There's plenty of celebrity chaos, too, including rock-star real names, James Hetfield talking Tony Iommi, entertainment news and drama surrounding Dolly Parton's estate. Turns out figuring out Iggy Pop's real name is almost as difficult as deciding whether a defunct wrestling organization should count in Do It Bitch.Finally, Blues broadcaster Chris Kerber joins the show to talk St. Louis Blues training camp, the incredible access fans get to the players and the story of Hubbard GM John Kijowski casually squeezing himself between Blues executives at the glass like he'd just been promoted to assistant general manager. Kerber also takes us behind the scenes of one of broadcasting's most terrifying challenges: trying to pronounce unfamiliar hockey names while the puck keeps moving and your brain quietly catches fire.Robot fights, celebrity drama, potato chip litigation, questionable geography, Blues hockey and coworkers aggressively yelling “Do It, Bitch!” at each other for concert tickets — three episodes of The Rizzuto Show proving once again that even the simplest game can become a 20-minute argument if you put enough radio people in one 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.British Airways expanding St. Louis-to-London service with daily flights in 2027Polo off Mexican coast is among ‘the strongest storms ever' as Odalys becomes a hurricaneMaryland DoorDash customer picks up order from driver at crash scene: ‘I think that's my food right there'Woman who struck cruiser drinks urine-contaminated toilet water in attempt to alter breath test resultsWith Its 17 New Robotoilets, NYC is Experimenting With the Radical Idea of Actually Providing Public Bathrooms$167M Powerball winner arrested for fifth time — for public intoxication in Walmart parking lotSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The college football slate is loaded, the NFL season is starting to take shape, and the guys are back in The Spread Zone looking to cash some ticketsRiz, Tim McKern and Anthony Stalter start with some big time matchups in the SEC. Missouri travels down to Starkville to take on the Mississippi St. and their Heisman hopeful Quarterback Kamario Taylor. Then the fellas travel south to the Swamp as Ole Miss looks to keep rolling against the red hot Florida Gators after taking down their ex Lane Kiffin. Speaking of the Tigers, LSU and Texas A&M will both look to rebound in Death Valley after last week's losses.

Thème: Comment se préparer au défi du monde qui vient
King Scott is officially the Rizz Show's newest wildlife hero after rescuing an injured possum from his backyard, carefully boxing it up and delivering it to a local animal rescue. Naturally, this daily comedy responds to his good deed by immediately asking whether he's brought a mystery disease home to his newborn and whether anyone has ever eaten possum at a roadkill cook-off. No good deed survives this show.Speaking of diseases, St. Louis has a measles problem. The crew runs through a local exposure warning involving Busch Stadium and several area businesses while Lern realizes she was at a Cardinals game dangerously close to the exposure date. Nothing spices up your morning quite like wondering whether you've got “measle butt.”Things get considerably heavier with the story of a 24-year-old Norwegian man who was attempting to rollerblade across America before being struck in a hit-and-run in Kansas. The crew also discusses a woman left paralyzed after a man fell from a tree during Knocked Loose's set at Louder Than Life, plus a Carnival Panorama passenger who went overboard. At some point, even Rizz realizes maybe the “good news” portion of the show needs to arrive before everyone crawls back into bed.Thankfully, this daily comedy eventually finds salvation in the first day of fall and, more importantly, Fat Bear Week. The crew celebrates Alaska's gloriously chunky bears by planning exactly what they'd eat if they needed to double their own body weight before hibernation. We're talking five-foot lasagna towers, wheelbarrows of toasted ravioli, conveyor belts of donuts, ice cream cake smoothies and an entire Cracker Barrel breakfast blended into liquid form. Nutritionists, please stop listening.Then comes the workplace debate nobody knew we needed: Is it unprofessional to bring an iced coffee into a job interview? Rizz says absolutely. Lern thinks everybody needs to calm down because it's coffee, not a six-pack. Somehow condensation rings, coffee breath and rattling ice become legitimate threats to your career.Possum heroes, measles scares, tragic headlines, gigantic bears and Gen Z getting judged for showing up with Starbucks — another completely balanced 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.
The Rizzuto Show is rolling out a brand-new game called Dead or Alive, because apparently determining whether celebrities are still among us is now a legitimate path to winning Metallica tickets. Welcome to the funny podcast where mortality, prizes and our questionable knowledge of famous people finally collide.Before anybody gets quizzed on who is currently breathing, we've got important meat business to handle. Jimmy Fallon's trivia question involves a record-breaking 430-foot meat snack, which turns out to be a Slim Jim. Even better, Rizz gets a perfectly timed gift from Times Square: a “Mommy's Little Meatball” shirt. Sometimes the universe hands you comedy. Other times it hands you processed meat and an aggressively Italian T-shirt.Then MrBeast enters the conversation after spending millions to build a self-sustaining village in Ghana with homes for teachers, a medical clinic, clean water infrastructure, solar power and a school for hundreds of kids. Naturally, somebody on the internet still found a reason to complain. The crew digs into the criticism, MrBeast's response and the baffling human ability to look at somebody doing something objectively helpful and immediately type, “Yeah, but what about…”From there, we discover that estate sales might actually be worth getting out of bed for. A bargain hunter in Michigan bought a forgotten seashell painting for $30, only to discover it was a long-lost Gertrude Abercrombie work potentially worth $250,000. Suddenly rummaging through dead strangers' belongings sounds less depressing and more like a retirement strategy.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where this funny podcast dives into Slipknot teasing something mysterious, the possibility of Lzzy Hale fronting a Velvet Revolver reunion, Ozzfest returning, and Taylor Swift receiving another award that sounds suspiciously like somebody needed to invent an award specifically for Taylor Swift.We also get the incredible story of Michael Jackson accidentally giving an acceptance speech for an award that didn't actually exist, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives melting everyone's remaining brain cells, Channing Tatum denying he has a secret Instagram burner account roasting celebrities, and Arnold Schwarzenegger announcing another self-help book — which naturally means everybody has to attempt an Arnold impression.Plus, Brad Pitt's Cliff Booth is returning, the crew debates Beatles songs versus their famous covers, Joe Cocker gets some much-deserved love, and Robin Williams' comedy legacy leads to a discussion about his reputation for accidentally absorbing other comedians' material.Finally, the moment we've been waiting for: Dead or Alive. Three listeners will face off against members of the show, trying to determine whether ten celebrities of varying fame are still alive. Beat the crew and you get your choice of some seriously ridiculous prizes.It's meat snacks, mystery paintings, rock news, celebrity fails and a game that could expose just how little we actually know about famous people — exactly the kind of educational excellence you expect from a funny podcast like 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.
Sound the alarms and alert the dental community: Lern is officially Patient of the Month at Ballwin Dental Care. Dr. Kim personally delivers breakfast, Lern celebrates her cavity-free supremacy, and former Patient of the Month Rafe handles being replaced with exactly the dignity you'd expect.Then this comedy podcast brings back Dead or Alive, the rapid-fire game where listeners battle members of the show to determine whether celebrities are currently among the living. Dick Van Dyke? Mel Brooks? James Earl Jones? William Shatner? John Goodman? Carol Burnett? The names keep coming, the answers get increasingly panicked, and one contestant somehow ties King Scott by correctly guessing the combined age of Dick Van Dyke and Mel Brooks: exactly 200.Rizz gets his turn and casually goes 10-for-10, because apparently knowing whether celebrities are alive is his hidden superpower. Lern isn't quite as fortunate when she gets the murder round and starts encountering names like Angie Dickinson, Johnny Mathis and Dabney Coleman. “Who are these people?” becomes a perfectly reasonable strategy.Then Dear Diary Day sends this comedy podcast straight into everybody's embarrassing past. Rizz admits his old journals probably need to be destroyed, while Lern reveals she started keeping a diary at 11 — until her parents found it and discovered young Lern repeatedly describing her celebrity crushes as a “hot piece of ass.”Tiny problem: she had absolutely no idea what that phrase actually meant.Cue an incredibly uncomfortable parental intervention involving a confused 12-year-old trying to explain that she just thought Jonathan Taylor Thomas was cute.The crew debates whether reading someone's journal is ever acceptable, Rafe remembers his mom operating like an amateur FBI agent through his belongings, and everybody gets surprisingly sincere about why physically writing down your thoughts can actually help clear your head.Dental glory, celebrity mortality, childhood privacy violations and journals containing evidence that should probably be destroyed immediately — another completely therapeutic 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 Rizzuto Show kicks things off with King Scott becoming an unlikely wildlife hero after rescuing an injured opossum from his backyard — which naturally turns into questions about diseases, pet possums and whether anyone has ever accidentally eaten one at a roadkill cook-off. From there, St. Louis gets a measles exposure warning, Lern realizes she was dangerously close to the action, and “measle butt” unfortunately enters the show's medical vocabulary.Thankfully, Fat Bear Week arrives to restore order as the crew plans what they'd eat if they had to double their body weight before hibernation. Five-foot lasagnas, wheelbarrows of toasted ravioli and donut conveyor belts are all apparently part of a balanced pre-winter diet.Then we debut Dead or Alive, where listeners battle the show to determine whether various celebrities are currently still with us. Rizz proves disturbingly good at it, while everyone else learns that celebrity mortality gets much harder when you only have three seconds to answer. There's also a record-breaking 430-foot Slim Jim, Rizz receives a “Mommy's Little Meatball” shirt, and a $30 estate-sale painting turns out to potentially be worth $250,000 — officially giving us all permission to start digging through strangers' garages.Meanwhile, Lern finally achieves one of the greatest honors in Rizz Show history: Patient of the Month at Ballwin Dental Care. Breakfast is delivered, Rafe becomes jealous of his Patient of the Month successor, and Lern gets approximately six minutes to enjoy her dental supremacy before Dead or Alive starts throwing names like Angie Dickinson, Johnny Mathis and Dabney Coleman at her.Finally, Dear Diary Day sends everyone digging into their embarrassing past. Rizz admits some of his old journals probably need to be destroyed, while Lern remembers her parents discovering her childhood diary and confronting her over repeatedly calling celebrity crushes a “hot piece of ass” — a phrase 12-year-old Lern absolutely did not understand.Possum rescues, measles scares, gigantic bears, meat snacks, celebrity mortality, dental glory and childhood journals containing evidence nobody was supposed to see — three episodes of The Rizzuto Show proving once again that personal growth is mostly just surviving long enough to laugh at your younger self.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.Mo.

Happy Mini Golf Day, everybody — apparently that's a thing, and naturally The Rizzuto Show immediately turns it into a debate about whether playing mini golf alone is perfectly acceptable or one of the saddest activities a human being can voluntarily participate in.Rizz says mini golf is a social activity. Lern is ready to hit the windmill alone out of spite. Rafe wants a mini golf caddy who can professionally read the break on the clown nose. And Moon brings the evidence that completely destroys any chance of this conversation remaining normal.During a family mini golf trip in Alabama, Moon encountered a wildly dressed mystery man who showed up alone, appeared to be extremely high and started playing with an enormous multicolored ice cream cone in his hand. Unfortunately, mini golf courses don't provide cup holders for gigantic desserts, so our hero developed a system: set the ice cream directly on the ground, take the shot, pick it back up and continue eating.Concrete? Yep.Wood chips? Absolutely.By the time the man starts feeding ice cream to an ostrich, we've moved beyond mini golf and into a nature documentary that absolutely nobody authorized.That's just the opening act of this comedy podcast, because the crew then tackles one of music's most dangerous arguments: which albums are truly perfect from beginning to end with absolutely no skips?Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. Guns N' Roses' Appetite for Destruction. Green Day's Dookie. Nas' Illmatic. Metallica's Black Album. Alice in Chains' Dirt. Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Michael Jackson's Thriller. Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill. Rage Against the Machine. Weezer's Blue Album. Pearl Jam's Ten. Soundgarden's Superunknown. And plenty more get thrown into the musical Thunderdome while everybody attempts to prove their taste is objectively correct. You know, the healthiest possible way to discuss music.Then Crap on Celebrities arrives with enough entertainment news to give everyone emotional whiplash. The crew gets into concert cancellations, William Shatner fronting a heavy metal project at 95, Gnarls Barkley touring again, Sammy Hagar trying to move beyond being primarily associated with Van Halen, Calvin Harris performing for a ridiculous 1.6 million-person crowd and Kenny Loggins getting married.There are also much heavier stories as the show discusses losses in the music world, troubling news involving Carrot Top and concerns surrounding other public figures. Rafe talks about the darker side of comedy, the “sad clown” reality behind performers and how someone can appear completely fine while dealing with something much more serious underneath.Thankfully, there's some good news mixed in, including Snooki announcing she's cancer-free, before the celebrity train gets moving again with Burt Reynolds stories, George Lucas' massive museum and Spotify's most-streamed artists, songs and podcasts.And then…Florida.Sweet, beautiful, deeply confusing Florida.The show has three stories for another round of “What's Going On in Florida?” and somehow each one makes the previous story seem slightly more reasonable. There are allegations involving a woman and the family dog, a domestic disturbance that leads to an absolutely horrifying family confession, and finally an argument over farting in bed that escalates into a felony assault.At one point, Rizz is forced to acknowledge that maybe Florida really is crazy everywhere — which is inconvenient considering he still wants to move there.But hey, he just wants to live near the water.Apparently the insanity is the waterfront tax.From solo putt-putt and dirt-seasoned ice cream to perfect albums, celebrity news and Florida once again enthusiastically volunteering to provide the weirdest stories of the day, this comedy podcast has everything you need to feel significantly better about whatever questionable decisions you've made lately.Because no matter how weird your morning gets, somebody somewhere is feeding wood-chip-covered ice cream to an ostrich at a mini golf course.And that person is winning.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.
Do you remember the 21st night of September? The Rizzuto Show certainly does, which means Earth, Wind & Fire Day is here and everybody should crank “September,” celebrate accordingly and apparently take their tops off. We don't make the rules. Actually, we might have made that one.Then this funny podcast takes an immediate turn into Sex Time Fun Facts and the world of “guided Joeing” — audio experiences that basically provide step-by-step instructions for some very personal alone time. Lern thinks there might be something to it. Moon insists society has simply reinvented the 1-900 number and slapped a wellness label on it. Rafe wonders how anybody got to the point where they needed an instruction manual for equipment they've owned their entire life.Naturally, that leads to the crew realizing they all work in audio and could theoretically have very lucrative second careers. Lern considers erotic audiobooks, Rafe discovers people might actually pay to watch him read steamy novels in his glasses, and Rizz reveals he knows someone who was once hired to provide the voice of an adult toy. So everybody's résumé is getting significantly stranger.From there, this funny podcast moves into the newest relationship trend: “food divorce.” Instead of couples planning, cooking and eating meals together, everybody handles their own food on their own schedule. Rizz thinks if dinner planning requires relationship therapy, we may have bigger problems. Lern argues that sometimes you just want cereal while your spouse wants beans and nobody needs to contact an attorney over it.That turns into a surprisingly real conversation about making time for your partner, needing personal space, family dinners and whether eating together matters more than actually eating the same thing.And because apparently even chewing can cause relationship drama now, the crew gets into couples who eat at completely different speeds. Rizz, Lern and Moon are all fast eaters, while Rafe admits he occasionally has to consciously slow himself down so he doesn't look like somebody just rang the dinner bell at a prison camp.Then we arrive at Rafe's recent evening alone: smoked wings, the Chiefs game on a laptop, greasy fingers, no television and a moment of self-reflection after looking in the mirror and realizing the sauce was definitely on his face too.Has he eaten wings in bed?

Unfortunately, yes.Earth, Wind & Fire, guided alone time, separate dinners, eating-speed incompatibility and Rafe slowly designing a hospital bed for snacks — another perfectly functional 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.
King Scott is back from paternity leave with a beautiful baby girl, zero sleep and the kind of diaper story every new parent eventually earns. The crew gets the full delivery-room recap, meets the world of high-tech baby gear and learns that fatherhood can go from heartwarming to “poop volcano” remarkably fast.Then things get weird. Moon encounters a mysterious solo mini golfer in Alabama who appears extremely high, carries an enormous ice cream cone around the course and repeatedly sets it directly on the ground before continuing to eat it. Eventually, an ostrich gets involved. The crew also debates perfect no-skip albums, dives into celebrity chaos and once again asks the question America has been asking for generations: What the hell is going on in Florida?Back in the relationship department, we celebrate Earth, Wind & Fire Day by learning about “guided Joeing” — audio instructions for some extremely personal alone time. Lern sees potential. Moon insists we've just reinvented phone sex and given it a wellness subscription. Naturally, everyone immediately begins considering whether their radio voices could provide lucrative second careers.The conversation somehow becomes slightly more respectable with “food divorce,” where couples stop planning meals together and simply eat whatever they want, whenever they want. That leads to debates over family dinners, personal space, eating speeds and whether sharing a meal really matters in a relationship.And finally, Rafe gives us a glimpse into bachelor life: eating smoked wings alone while watching football on a laptop, discovering sauce all over his face and contemplating furniture specifically designed to make eating in bed easier.New babies, wedding afterparties, dirt-seasoned ice cream, perfect albums, Florida crimes, guided alone time and relationship food fights — three episodes of The Rizzuto Show proving once again that we can start with the miracle of childbirth and somehow end with Rafe shopping for a snack bed.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 is back from paternity leave, which means it's time for the proud new dad to tell us all about the miracle of childbirth while the rest of the show asks every inappropriate follow-up question imaginable. Welcome back, buddy. We missed you.This funny podcast starts with King Scott taking us through the arrival of St Louis's official princess, from contractions kicking into high gear to the 4 a.m. hospital trip and the slightly optimistic prediction that the baby would arrive in about two hours. Spoiler: she did not respect the schedule.After a long day of labor, an epidural and plenty of waiting, Scott finally got to watch his daughter enter the world, cut the cord and experience that completely surreal moment of realizing, “Oh… we're responsible for keeping this person alive now.” Naturally, the crew handles this beautiful story with all the maturity you'd expect, including discussions about break dancers breaking water, newborns looking like catcher's mitts and whether Creed should just play continuously throughout maternity wards.Then comes the first drive home, introducing the baby to the dogs and learning just how much stuff modern parents apparently need. Scott's hand-me-down Doona stroller/car-seat contraption gets dubbed a “baby Transformer,” because apparently infants now require equipment more advanced than the vehicles most of us drove in high school.And then fatherhood officially welcomes Scott to the club.During a middle-of-the-night diaper change, his daughter unleashes what can only be described as a poop volcano directly onto Dad. That's love. That's bonding. That's also a shirt immediately entering the washing machine.Outside the nursery, Rizz has some questions after Lafayette's homecoming pep rally recognizes the school's athletes… except the hockey team. The hockey players are standing there in their jerseys while everybody else gets their moment, leaving the crew to investigate the apparent discrimination against teenagers willing to voluntarily get slammed into boards. Somehow this also leads to the discovery that esports coaches are real, scholarships exist and we have absolutely no clue how you make a gamer “run laps.”Then this funny podcast heads to Jamie Rivers and Ashley's wedding, where the crew arrives ready to celebrate and discovers the “heavy appetizers” have already been demolished. Nothing says romance like showing up hungry and finding one surviving broccoli floret.The party eventually migrates to a speakeasy, complete with a puzzle to get inside — something Rizz has approximately zero patience for after a night of celebrating. Once inside, things escalate into exactly the kind of radio-industry wedding afterparty you'd expect: drinks flowing, coworkers getting increasingly affectionate, another bride arriving to discover the Rizz Show crew has basically occupied the joint, and enough former hockey enforcers nearby that Rafe suddenly feels extremely confident about winning any hypothetical bar fight.New babies. Diaper explosions. Baby Transformers. Forgotten hockey players. Missing wedding food. Speakeasy puzzles. And radio people proving once again that apparently nobody taught them when the party is over.It's parenthood, weddings and beautifully questionable decision-making packed into one 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.
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.
Love is in the air, and unfortunately The Rizzuto Show is here to analyze it.This daily comedy show kicks off with First Love Day sending everybody back to their childhood crushes. Rizz remembers gathering the courage to give Michelle a “do you like me?” note only to watch her immediately check NO, Moon recalls inviting his crush to a roller-skating birthday party and then ignoring her, and Rafe takes us through puppy love, old girlfriends and the smells that can instantly transport you back to questionable teenage decisions.Speaking of relationships, Rizz commits a husband mistake for the ages when his wife sees their daughter's homecoming dress and suggests she could wear it to an upcoming wedding. Rizz's response? “There's no way you're fitting in that.” Somewhere, every married man listening just whispered, “Oh no.”Lern has relationship revelations of her own after replacing her usual oversized T-shirts and basketball shorts with cute pajamas and discovering Tim is VERY enthusiastic about the upgrade. That sends this daily comedy show into a completely necessary investigation of bedtime attire, ancient underwear and just how long a pair of boxer briefs can remain in circulation before becoming a historical artifact.Then Merriam-Webster gives us another reason to feel ancient with new terms like looksmaxxing, parasocial and cuffing season. Moon thinks cuffing season is a relationship red flag. Lern sees an opportunity for soup, Game of Thrones and winter romance. Rizz hears “getting laid for three months” and suddenly becomes extremely supportive of the younger generation.But the romantic centerpiece arrives when Lern finally pays off her Pick 'Em punishment by recording an original love song for Rizz. “Our Sweet Rizz” includes coffee breath, hairy arms, meatballs, ravioli breath and enough forced eye contact to make the entire studio uncomfortable. Against all odds, it's kind of a banger.There's also celebrity and music chaos, a visit to the rentable Silence of the Lambs house, Rafe getting emotionally adopted by a helpful employee at Ace Hardware, and the discovery that miniature horses might actually help improve your mood.First crushes, cuffing, homecoming mistakes, tiny horses and one deeply unnecessary love ballad — just another romantically confused daily comedy 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.U.S. summer travel 2026: What people planned vs. what actually happenedLambert ranks near bottom of large airports for third straight yearPeople Are Discussing Whether Or Not We Were All “Nicer” 10 Years AgoTop 6 European destinations with the rudest service — according to travelersCrazy Stories With DeVito: Pranking Arnold, Courtside With Jack Nicholson & A Monkey Bit His Balls ‘Crashout', ‘Looksmaxxing': Merriam-Webster adds over 1,400 new wordsMadonna locked in to open the MTV VMAs 2026See 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.
