"Z Rock" is a semi-scripted comedy that premiered on IFC in 2008, starring the real-life Brooklyn rock band ZO2 as fictionalized versions of themselves. The band spends their nights chasing rock stardom as ZO2, but by day they pay the bills performing children's birthday parties as The Z Brothers. The show follows the band's struggle to keep their kiddie-party gigs from completely destroying their hard-rock credibility. "Z Rock" lasted two seasons and brought in an impressive collection of guest stars from the worlds of rock and comedy. The series never became a mainstream hit, but its bizarre mix of Spinal Tap-style rock comedy and real-life band struggles has helped it remain a cult curiosity. So will the S1E1 boys be ready to rock with ZO2, or should these guys stick to entertaining five-year-olds? Listen as they deep dive the show's pilot episode, "Paul and David Nearly Miss a Huge Gig" and find out. Starring: Paulie Zablidowsky, David Zablidowsky, Joey Cassata, Lynne Koplitz, Big Jay Oakerson, Alison Becker, Greg Giraldo, Sebastian Bach, & Joan Rivers www.S1E1POD.com Instagram & X (Twitter): @S1E1POD

Some people celebrate birthdays with dignity. The Rizzuto Show celebrates them with sarcastic greeting cards, giant pastries, smoked deviled eggs, Italian rainbow cookies and a handcrafted pasta spoon featuring Tommy Wiseau.Welcome to Episode 201 of The Rizzuto Show, the comedy podcast where turning 48 apparently means your coworkers get unlimited permission to remind you that death is approaching.The show kicks off with some completely normal DuckTales appreciation before Lern proposes the crew go see Sebastian Bach, Quiet Riot and Great White. That immediately becomes a scheduling nightmare involving Rafe's Funny Bone weekend, Moon playing Valley Park Fall Fest and Rizz trying to figure out whether everybody can somehow attend three events simultaneously. Also, Moon may or may not have dreamed about Sebastian Bach. His dreams apparently have continuity now, so that's something everyone has to live with.Then Rizz brings up a movie theory that sounds just believable enough to ruin your productivity for the next hour: could The Goonies and Back to the Future take place on the exact same day?Back to the Future establishes October 26, 1985. Meanwhile, clues in The Goonies appear to place its adventure right around that same Saturday. Coincidence? Intentional cinematic universe? Evidence that Chunk was one DeLorean ride away from completely destroying the space-time continuum? We investigate with exactly the level of academic rigor you'd expect from this program.Which is none.Then Brian arrives with enough food to turn the studio into a French bakery: croissants, bread, ham and Swiss, smoked deviled eggs and more. This comes after the gigantic birthday cake he'd already made for Rizz, because apparently we're now trying to see whether a radio host can be defeated entirely by carbohydrates.From there, Crap on Celebrities brings another avalanche of entertainment news. The crew gets into Slipknot and Sid Wilson, Stray Kids dominating the Billboard charts, the debate surrounding a potential Asian pop Grammy category, and Frankie Valli continuing to perform at 92 — which leads everyone to wonder whether Frankie is enthusiastically choosing the stage or operating entirely on decades of muscle memory.Nate Bargatze also sets a massive comedy ticket-sales record, sending Rafe and the crew into a genuinely interesting conversation about club comedy versus arena comedy. Rafe explains why smaller rooms create that perfect pressure cooker of laughs while superstar comics eventually reach a level where playing a 200-seat club makes about as much financial sense as opening a lemonade stand inside Costco.Then somebody pays $192,000 for Sophia Petrillo's purse from The Golden Girls, because apparently having money is exhausting and eventually you simply run out of normal things to buy.The entertainment conversation keeps rolling into movies, celebrity stories and eventually Brad Pitt declaring that bad acting is so distracting he can't watch porn. This results in Rafe questioning Brad Pitt's acting credentials and nearly getting thrown off the show by everyone else. The crew debates whether Pitt is actually an elite actor, just exceptionally talented at playing Brad Pitt, or both.And somehow that's still not the most disrespectful conversation of the episode.Because it's Rizz's birthday.The crew surprises him with cards carefully selected to remind him that he's old, grouchy and one year closer to death. Lern gives him a Tommy Wiseau pasta spoon. Then Rafe produces Italian rainbow cookies from Sweet Seven Layers, delivered by a New York/Jersey baker who listens to the show and apparently understands exactly how to win over a “greasy meatball” birthday boy.It's heartfelt. It's insulting. It's carb-heavy.In other words, it's the perfect Rizz Show birthday.Hair metal, ridiculous movie theories, entertainment gossip, comedy talk, celebrity arguments and enough birthday shenanigans to make HR quietly close its laptop — Episode 201 is another completely normal comedy podcast from St. Louis.If you've ever wondered what happens when grown adults combine Sebastian Bach, The Goonies, Brad Pitt, Tommy Wiseau and Italian cookies into one morning show, congratulations.

When Stuck in the '80s was just getting started, we somehow convinced Adam Curry to talk to us. This was our second-ever celebrity interview, and Curry came armed with exactly the kind of stories we hoped an MTV VJ would have. Madonna. Sebastian Bach. Moscow. Richard Marx. And that's just for starters. In this classic Stuck in the '80s interview, former MTV VJ Adam Curry takes us behind the scenes of Music Television during its glory years and shares some wonderfully strange stories from life at the center of '80s and early '90s pop culture. Adam Curry and the Glory Days of MTV Curry joined MTV in 1987, arriving when the network was still one of the most powerful forces in music. For young fans, MTV VJs had one of the greatest jobs imaginable. They introduced videos, interviewed rock stars, traveled the world and seemingly had unlimited access to the artists the rest of us only saw on television. Curry became one of the network's most recognizable personalities, hosting Headbangers Ball and other MTV programs while interviewing some of the biggest stars in music. And occasionally things got weird. Adam Curry, Sebastian Bach and Red Square One of Curry's more surreal MTV adventures involved traveling to the Soviet Union and visiting Red Square in Moscow with Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach. Just consider that sentence for a moment. An MTV VJ and the lead singer of Skid Row wandering around Moscow as the Cold War was winding down. The '80s really did produce some strange combinations. Curry takes us inside that adventure and recalls what it was like experiencing a historic moment while working for a network that had become synonymous with American youth culture. Appearing With Madonna in Truth or Dare Curry also found himself in the orbit of Madonna, eventually appearing in her 1991 documentary Madonna: Truth or Dare. Yes, 1991 is technically outside our jurisdiction. We're allowing it. The landmark documentary offered an unusually intimate look at Madonna during her Blond Ambition tour, and Curry shares the story of how he ended up making an appearance. Adam Curry vs. Richard Marx And then there's Richard Marx. Curry and Marx had a very public disagreement — the kind of feud that was considerably harder to conduct before social media gave celebrities the ability to argue with each other 24 hours a day. What started it? How serious did it get? And what happened when the MTV VJ and the “Right Here Waiting” singer found themselves on opposite sides of a very public fight? Curry tells the story. From MTV VJ to Podcasting Pioneer There's another reason this interview holds a special place in Stuck in the '80s history. By the time we talked with Curry, he had become one of the key figures in the early development of podcasting. That made him a particularly appropriate guest for a little podcast that had only recently begun trying to figure out this strange new medium itself. Nearly two decades later, we're still here. So is podcasting. And we're still amazed that for our second celebrity interview, we got an MTV VJ to tell us about hanging out in Red Square with Sebastian Bach. We probably should have quit while we were ahead. Join the Stuck in the '80s Patreon Want more classic interviews, bonus content and other trips back into our favorite decade?

This week on The Heavy Metal Hangover, Rex and Duff dive headfirst into the new Reformatted Edition of the iconic 1986 Transformers: The Movie soundtrack. We peel back the curtain on the Knights of Unicron—the underground house band featuring death metal royalty Matt Harvey and Ross Sewage (Exhumed, Ghoul) alongside drum powerhouse Gus Rios (Gruesome). We talk about their work backing up massive guest vocalists like Sebastian Bach, Mark Osegueda (Death Angel), Brittney Slayes (Unleash the Archers), and original legends Stan Bush and Vince DiCola to see if this reboot lives up to the 1986 classic. Then, we shift gears to pay tribute to Teutonic heavy metal royalty as we check out a brand-new tribute album honoring the mighty Accept. From "Fast as a Shark" to "Balls to the Wall," we discuss how these modern acts handle the German legends' iconic catalog. Finally, Rex brings a shocking story straight from the rink: what happens when you're hanging out with your hockey team and realize nobody in the room knows who a world-famous classic rock band is? We rant about the sudden generation gaps, locker room music culture, and the existential dread of realizing your team's playlist needs a serious rescue mission. Grab a drink and join the conversation!

Dan and Nicole are back and choking on Canadian wildfire smoke. This week they dig into the air quality mess blanketing the Midwest (PM 2.5 readings over 600 in Chicago and a jaw-dropping 1,200 in Duluth), why nobody can get a straight answer about who's to blame, and Dan's ongoing need for a "Facebook monitor" to stop him from correcting strangers' grammar in the comments. From there it's a full grab bag: Sebastian Bach canceling his Waukesha County Fair set, the great "where do you think the air in the barn comes from" debate, and vacation planning gone sideways (sorry, Canada, the beef tastes weird and the Starbucks milk is off). Also on the docket: United's new Economy Plus row that turns the middle seat into a shared table, garbage trucks that finally pull their own weight (now with AI cameras snitching on your overgrown lawn in Cape Coral), the booming gig economy of professional line sitting and the legend of Franklin Barbecue, a surprise love letter to John Cameron Mitchell and Hedwig and the Angry Inch, and a deep dive into Flock license plate cameras: fantastic crime-solving tool or creepy government database?

Some mornings you expect headlines. Other mornings you discover there's an underground criminal empire stealing used fryer grease, someone insists bedazzled jeans are making a comeback, billionaires are wearing air-conditioned inflatable suits, and Rizz has created an entirely unofficial list of ages where society should lovingly tell you to knock it off.Welcome to another daily comedy show from The Rizzuto Show.We kick things off close to home with St. Louis news, including Cyberg's Market Street closing after decades downtown, overnight vehicle break-ins, and why leaving valuables—or firearms—in your car is a spectacularly bad idea. Naturally, the conversation immediately derails into fake manual transmissions to confuse thieves, mounted muskets, Shark Tank-worthy anti-theft inventions, and enough terrible ideas to make insurance companies nervous.Then things get wonderfully ridiculous as the crew dives into one of the strangest crime stories imaginable: an organized multi-million-dollar operation built around stealing used restaurant grease. Between fake invoices, undercover grease pickups, and criminals wearing reflective safety vests to blend in, yesterday's french fries somehow become today's organized crime thriller.Fashion isn't safe either. Lern believes rhinestones are back. Rafe embraces the return of early-2000s chaos. Rizz refuses to believe grown adults are voluntarily bedazzling their back pockets again. Before long the conversation spirals into Ed Hardy memories, JNCO jeans, Von Dutch hats, whale tails, cowboy fashion, and the universal question nobody asked: did any of this actually look good the first time?Speaking of questionable decisions, the crew revisits tech millionaire Bryan Johnson after news surrounding his health journey, leading to a hilarious debate about supplements, biohacking, sleep tracking, anti-aging obsessions, and whether spending every waking minute trying not to age actually counts as living.As if that weren't enough, Rizz unveils his completely unscientific "Tell the Truth Day" list of social expiration dates. At what age should backwards hats retire? Is there a point where everyone has to stop calling people "bro?" When should staying out until sunrise become a memory instead of a plan? Everyone disagrees, listeners yell back at their radios, and absolutely nothing gets settled.Meanwhile, congratulations are officially in order for Learn, who somehow found extra hours in the day by splitting time between St. Louis and Chicago. She's now racing from one radio show to another, surviving almost entirely on determination, gas station coffee, and what we're convinced is teleportation.Then comes one of the greatest rabbit holes of the morning. A casual conversation about Skid Row somehow transforms into an in-depth legal defense of Ricky from "18 and Life." Was the sentence fair? Did his attorney fail him? Could manslaughter have changed everything? Before long the crew is pitching an entire sequel where Ricky is released decades later and has to navigate smartphones, social media, and modern life. Sebastian Bach, our lawyers would like royalties if this ever happens.The nostalgia train keeps rolling with conversations about classic rock, Quiet Riot, Great White, unforgettable concerts, Missouri's connection to sliced bread, legendary movies every younger generation needs to watch, and passionate debates over which films absolutely deserve a spot on everyone's must-watch list.The celebrity world isn't spared either during another packed Crap on Celebrities featuring music news, Hollywood headlines, bizarre entertainment stories, AI discussions, and enough pop culture commentary to keep everyone arguing long after the show ends.And because no episode is complete without complete nonsense, we wrap things up debating billionaire air-conditioned tracksuits straight out of Paris before diving into Real or Fake Fireworks. Contestants attempt to identify whether outrageous names are actual fireworks or something Rafe invented after way too much caffeine. Somehow the real products end up sounding even more ridiculous than the fake ones.Whether you're listening on your morning commute, pretending to answer emails, hiding from responsibilities, or simply looking for a reason to laugh, thanks for making us part of your day. Every ridiculous tangent, terrible idea, nostalgic debate, celebrity headline, weird news story, and accidental moment of wisdom is why this daily comedy show continues to be the highlight of our mornings.If you laughed, argued with Rizz, defended rhinestone jeans, questioned the value of stolen fryer grease, or started wondering whether "Neighbor Hater" is actually a real firework, congratulations—you've experienced another daily comedy show exactly the way it was intended.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Theft of used cooking oil in St. Louis was part of vast conspiracy, feds sayIs There a Bedazzled Jeans Epidemic Amongst the Men?What Bryan Johnson's diagnosis says about the limits of health tracking, longevity medicineThis day in history: Sliced bread makes its debut in MissouriSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Congratulations are officially in order... because Lern somehow found extra hours in the day that the rest of us definitely don't have.She's now pulling double duty between St. Louis and Chicago, finishing one radio show, sprinting to her car, driving five hours north, hosting another show until midnight, and somehow making it back to the studio before the next morning. At this point we're convinced she's either invented teleportation or secretly runs on nothing but gas station coffee and spite. The gang celebrates the new opportunity while immediately roasting her for accidentally becoming "Chicago's newest native" overnight.Then things take the sharpest left turn imaginable.A simple conversation about Skid Row turns into what may be the most passionate legal defense of a fictional character ever attempted on morning radio. Did Ricky from "18 and Life" actually receive a fair sentence? Did his lawyer completely fail him? Could manslaughter have knocked years off his sentence? Before long, the crew is pitching an entire sequel where Ricky is finally released decades later, discovers smartphones, struggles with modern life, and tries to reintegrate into society. Sebastian Bach... if you're listening... we've basically written your next album.Of course, that's only the beginning.The gang dives into rock history, legendary concerts, Sebastian Bach's incredible hair, Quiet Riot, Great White, classic metal memories, and why moms somehow approved of Skid Row while other bands got thrown straight into the trash.Later, the crew celebrates Missouri's connection to sliced bread, debates whether "best thing since sliced bread" replaced an even older saying, revisits classic pop culture moments, and rolls through another packed edition of Crap on Celebrities featuring Metallica's emotional Ozzy tribute, Ella Langley's historic chart run, SZA opening up about her autism diagnosis, Whoopi Goldberg getting stranded by a volcano, Danny Trejo's unbelievable Charles Manson story, and the future of AI actors in Hollywood.Then things get wonderfully nostalgic as everyone argues over which movies every younger generation absolutely has to watch. From action classics to sci-fi masterpieces to childhood favorites, expect plenty of passionate disagreements and a few films that definitely deserved more love than they got.Finally, the show wraps exactly the way you'd expect... with Crappy Birthdays, some hilariously questionable movie titles, and a game of Real or Fake Fireworks using the bizarre names found on leftover Fourth of July fireworks. Because nothing says responsible broadcasting quite like trying to determine whether "Exploding Mega Whatever" is an actual consumer product.It's another completely unpredictable comedy podcast packed with music nostalgia, pop culture commentary, ridiculous hypotheticals, listener laughs, celebrity updates, and the kind of conversations that only happen when nobody in the room thinks, "Maybe we should move on."Whether you're here for the rock stories, the celebrity gossip, the debates over old movies, or simply to hear adults spend entirely too much time defending a fictional prison sentence from a 1980s song, this comedy podcast delivers exactly the kind of daily chaos you'd expect from The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On today's edition of the Loaded Radio Daily Breakdown, host Scott Penfold brings his 25-year rock radio personality to the mic to unpack an absolutely massive day of rock and metal news across the global grid. First up, Australian metalcore titans Parkway Drive are throwing it back to their absolute foundational roots. The band has officially confirmed their "Killing Horizons Tour" hitting Australia this August. Instead of standard tour packages, they are setting up specialized, intimate two-night residencies across five major cities—with Night 1 dedicated to playing their 2005 debut album "Killing With A Smile" in its entirety, and Night 2 running through their 2007 breakthrough masterpiece "Horizons" from front to back. We look at the tour routing, dates, and ticket pre-sale windows. Then, we revisit the ongoing fallout surrounding Iron Maiden's catastrophic Paris stadium blackout at the La Défense Arena. We have new official statements from frontman Bruce Dickinson and manager Rod Smallwood regarding the intense 44°C heatwave conditions inside the venue when the AC failed, the strict local police transit curfews that forced the band to drop their three-song encore, and how French electricity distributor Enedis is responding to investigations into the arena's internal power grid failure. Finally, glam metal legends Twisted Sister have officially expanded their highly anticipated 2026 reunion tour schedule, adding three massive fall dates across Indiana, West Virginia, and Florida. We track the updated schedule and discuss the vocal substitution of Skid Row icon Sebastian Bach stepping in for Dee Snider with his full, explicit blessing. Stream the daily tracking report now!

OUR 1ST INDIE BOOKSTORE DAYWhat started out as an immediate debrief of our first Independent Bookstore Day event quickly spiraled out into an entire episode. Being so, no notes were taken! This is basically a full episode running down how our day went, what our expectations were, and suggestions for next year's event (spoiler: we'll do it again!). This episode is also a look ahead to FREE COMIC BOOK Day, including an on-the-spot layout alteration suggested by Dal that we're going to try and implement (because Patrick had an additional idea later that night that we're also planning to implement). We say it here and wind up doing it less than a week later!---------- Contest of Challengers #778 This episode is dedicated to the Chicagoland Independent Bookstore Alliance. Theme: Adam WarRock (with Mikal kHill) Intro: James VanOsdol (with Danhausen and Chris Jericho) Outro: James VanOsdol "Patrick" Voices: Richie Kotzen, Christopher Daniels, James Acaster, Sue Marasciulo (Trent's Mom), RJ City, Sebastian Bach, Arune Singh, James VanOsdol "Dal" Voices: James VanOsdol, RJ City, Dalton Castle, Sue Marasciulo (Trent's Mom), Kevin Conroy, Kris Statlander, Skye Blue, Bryce Remsberg, Arune Singh, Colt Cabana (both) Dal and Patrick Artwork: Bella Spagnuolo https://bellaspagnuoloart.myportfolio.com/ This episode was digitally edited by Cleanvoice. ----------Challengers Comics + Conversation 1845 N Western Ave • Chicago, IL 60647 773.278.0155 • ChallengersComics.com
