Mikey kennt sich mittlerweile in den (digitalen) Aufnahmestudios von OK COOL bestens aus: Im Sommer 2025 war sie zum ersten Mal zu Gast, um mit Dom über das Debut-Spiel ihres Teams zu sprechen: Bloodletter, ein Roguelite-Mix aus Slay the Spire und mittelalterlichen Medizinhandbüchern. Der Titel, der damals im Early Access erschien, hatte es Dom enorm angetan - so sehr, dass es nicht bei dem einen Gespräch zwischen den beiden bleiben sollte. So erschien vor einigen Monaten hier bei OK COOL eine zweiteilige Doku, die das Bloodletter-Team in den 24 Stunden vor dem EarlyAccess-Release ihres Titels begleitete und dann noch einmal am Tag danach ausfragte, wie sie den großen Erscheinungstag erlebt haben. Spoiler: Nicht alles lief so glatt wie erhofft. Die Doku gibt's nach wie vor für alle Supporter, ist auch Monate später unverändert hörenswert! Und nun ist Mikey noch einmal zum Mikrofon von Dom zurückgekehrt, denn Bloodletter hat einen kritischen Moment seiner Entwicklungsgeschichte erreicht: Den Sprung vom Early Access in den Full Release, der exakt ein Tag nach diesem Gespräch hier passieren wird. Wie sehen die letzten Vorbereitungen eines Indie-Teams für diesen Schritt aus? Welche Lehren ziehen die Studi-Freunde aus der Entwicklungszeit der letzten Monate? In Hinblick auf das wirklich einzigartige Art Design des Spiels selbst fragt Dom aber auch Mikey aus, wie sie sich von mittelalterlichen Illustrationen und Gothic-Artworks zu dem ganz besonderen Stil ihres Spiel inspirieren ließ.

[2:10] On with the Show! We will take a deep dive into Enterprise Risk Management with Eric Lobser. Eric recently retired from a 35-year career in the natural gas sector. He remained with one company that eventually became Spire Energy. [2:26] Eric is also a member of the RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council. [2:32] We will discuss his career journey, how one role led to the next before settling on Enterprise Risk Management, and his philosophies on what makes ERM truly valuable and why the acronym could use an upgrade. Let's get to it! [2:52] Interview! Eric Lobser, Welcome to RIMScast! [3:17] Justin and Eric met last year during a webinar. Eric has a fascinating career. His entire career was at Spire. Originally, it was Laclede Gas Company. Then it became The Laclede Group, and then Spire. Eric's career was 35 years and some months long. [3:53] Justin says that shows our audience that you can have a risk career at one company. You don't need to jump around. If you're doing well, if you're comfortable, if the company's treating you right, and you're doing a good job. [4:10] Eric says the risk career came later in his life. It was the culmination of a lot of other things he did. He had a varied set of positions at Spire. Over time, it was multiple types of companies. As you go through CEOs, things change. [4:31] Eric says he was there for about five CEOs and got to see many different sides of how business operates. [4:49] Eric says he graduated from Boston College in 1990. It was a tough job market. He wanted a job on the East Coast, but it was an expensive place not to have a job. He went back home. [5:08] His stepfather had a contact at the Laclede Gas Company. He interviewed, and they offered him a position, which he took. Within two weeks, he thought he would be crazy to stay at that company more than a couple of years. He thought it was odd they had a few computers. [5:29] Eric came from a school with a library full of computers. You had to sign up to use them. It taught him to use his mind, and it instilled patience. Those elements have been valuable to Eric's career. [6:06] Eric started as a budget analyst and did that for about a year and a half, in the corporate office in downtown St. Louis. [6:33] Then he was fortunate to move to Operations to do the same sort of work with all the department heads to help them with their budgeting, to translate things from Operations into financial terms and get better relationships with the people who ran the business. [6:53] Eric says he got to understand the business better from the view of the boots on the street. [7:04] Justin asks if risk management and ERM came onto Eric's radar in August 2001, when he became the Managing Director for Strategic Planning and Corporate Development. [7:18] Eric says that he had also worked with property insurance in Treasury. There's a big commodity risk at a natural gas company. There are also market risks and credit risks. [7:33] Eric says Strategic Planning was new to The Laclede Group, taking the budget period and extending it out three years, rolling in strategy and planning. [7:49] Eric helped them to develop software for business planning, custom-made from Access, to help support the Balance Scorecard they rolled out. It included something for Initiatives for making improvements, which were tied to Metrics.  [8:11] There were Action Items. There was a section where you laid out your different risks and what you were doing to mitigate them. The Action Items often required support from other areas. The software would put that into their business plan so they could see it and collaborate. [8:33] Eric says risk management and collaboration are hand-in-hand. [9:09] Eric speaks of a change in leadership, where they went from mostly looking at operational excellence and continual improvement to a more external look at other businesses, at ways to diversify within the gas industry: storage, pipeline, E&P, and more. [9:40] That was the beginning of the thought processes Eric would go through, looking at different businesses; what can go right with them, and what can go wrong. [9:57] Part of modeling acquisitions is taking a look at those scenarios and looking for the probability of a downside, what that downside looks like, and what will drive it. What has to go right to have the best case? What does the base case look like? What are those probabilities? [10:20] Eric says that was the beginning of understanding how risk and business go hand-in-hand. They can't have opportunity without risk. There's no reward without risk. Understanding that was an element of that job. [10:39] Eric was fortunate to have a tremendous boss during that time who helped him gain critical thinking about how things operate. [10:58] Eric says when they were looking at how other companies operate, they were companies within the gas industry, to stay within their knowledge base, and simplify their business, within the natural gas value chain, from wellhead to burner tip. [11:30] They were looking at exploration & production, gathering & processing, pipelines, underground storage, down to uses for it, including compressed natural gas for vehicles and local distribution utilities.  [11:58] Justin suggests that the 13-year period when Eric was in Strategic Planning and Corporate Development, holding several positions, was a key time in his career. Eric says yes, and it was his favorite period. He had gone to school for investment banking and acquisitions. [12:42] Eric says, at the same time, it was a tremendous amount of work. He thought maybe it wasn't the best place to spend his lifetime because of the level of work and stress involved. [13:04] Eric was married and raising a family, and that had to come into play, as well. He says while his wife was extremely patient with him during all those times, sometimes working around the clock, he felt it wasn't the right long-term opportunity for him. [13:20] Eric says one of the things he learned when he was doing acquisitions was developing models for how utilities make money. Eric worked with people who did rate cases at the company, to understand what drove cash flow. [13:47] In doing that, Eric learned how regulations work and how tariffs work. That led to asking himself, if this isn't the right career for me, taking a look at something next to it, which was regulatory and government affairs. [14:27] Eric had already started to learn about it. Once he was in charge, he based it on Missouri regulations. The first acquisition was a company in Kansas City, Missouri. [15:05] The second acquisition was Alagasco in Alabama, and that was a completely different type of ratemaking approach that was annual. They had a formal department. Eric was asked to develop something more formal for the entire company. [15:21] Eric says then they acquired Energy South, which brought them into Mobile and also Mississippi, a third rate jurisdiction. There was a mountain of information to climb. His drive and thirst for knowledge helped him up the curve pretty quickly. [15:53] Eric says relationships and the stuff between the lines are just as important as what you can read about and study. [16:12] Eric says, pulling from his enterprise risk career, one of the impacts is not just financial, but reputation. Reputation is a huge element of rate setting. Your reputation precedes you to the commission that oversees rate case litigation and the parties to the case. [16:47] The parties that are involved include industrials, AARP, low-income groups, an energy efficiency group, and other parties. [17:01] Understanding where they're coming from, and what they're trying to achieve, and working towards something that gives all parties some of what they want, is a key element. [17:18] If you were a bad operator; if you had a significant incident that showed you weren't a safe operator, or you weren't treating your customers well, then going into the rate case, people had their minds set that they wanted to give you not a rate increase but a rate reduction. [17:40] The value of the relationships and the reputation, the stuff that is gray and in between the lines, is not just about what the numbers are but who you are as a business.

Eric says his career at a critical infrastructure utility delivering a relatively volatile product to people's homes was very safety-oriented with a lot of rules, regulations, and areas of compliance. [21:04] The whole industry faced a need to replace some of its aging infrastructure. That started when Eric was in Treasury and trying to think about how they would afford all the replacements they were going through. [21:22] It came again when Eric was in Regulatory, trying to understand the balance between safety and rates and what's best for the business and what's best for the customer. [21:53] Compliance is not something you can decide to do a little bit or a lot. You have to meet at least the minimum standards. Spire was always at that point but also found the benefit of going beyond that, to deal with it a little bit more strategically. [22:14] Spire was generally a group that looked at opportunities to do replacement in a way that overall was more cost-effective, exceeding requirements on their compliance. Compliance was an enterprise risk. [22:34] Eric says it was not just making sure they were in compliance, but also what the cost of compliance is and what if people change their minds and all of a sudden want us to do this or that? [22:53] Being a regulated utility, your rates are dependent on somebody deciding you deserve to have this. [23:02] Compliance was more often not physical replacement but putting in another pipe beside the old pipe and terminating the old cast iron pipe that had degraded and become a safety issue. [23:26] Spire always paid attention to where they were getting leaks or water potentially getting into the system and areas of geography that had similar types of risk. [23:39] Spire took a strategic approach to look at the information they were getting and figure out where to go and do wholesale changes rather than responding to risks as they popped up. [23:54] Eric says that was the approach where they took compliance and said if we do more, it probably can be better for us and better for the customer to take a better strategic approach. [24:19] Eric says it's inconvenient and sometimes problematic for people when there are workers in the street. Part of Eric's career was dealing with claims and issues that can happen with construction. The construction was necessary to make sure the system was safe. [24:53] Eric says the most prevalent claims were when they were doing excavation and hit something unmapped, like an underground dog fence or sprinkler system. To be cost-effective, they used reliable outside partners to replace these. [26:44] Eric says that every year, when he was in Strategic Planning, he would help put on a two-day conference for the Board to review company strategy and present new ideas. [27:01] Any time they found an acquisition opportunity that met the muster of the executives, they presented that to the Board. [27:!3] Eric says the Board is extremely interested in rate cases, which are the heart and soul of a utility's business. [27:28] Something Eric found helpful later in his career, doing regulatory work, was to pull together parties without overlapping interests, such as the Board and the Public Service Commission, to help them find agreement on why something was beneficial for the customers. [28:58] Eric says, for the first time or two, presenting to the Board was frightening. He was fortunate enough not to be leading the presentations. He reported to officers who helped develop the business planning and strategy. They helped Eric work his way into bigger roles. [29:32] Eric says when he became more involved in doing the modeling, one time he was called by the CEO to speak to the Board while he was on a family vacation. His wife reminds him of this. The Board was very interested in the upside case and downside case of a model scenario. [30:31] Eric says in that phone call he had to give the Board a rigorous view of why they should spend $1.1 billion on this acquisition. While exciting, Eric says presenting to the Board was a very stressful part of the job. They're relying on things that he's saying to them. [31:12] Eric says acquisitions have their own timeline and they develop however they want to. It's not like going to the grocery store to pick up something. When something pops, it pops, and it's all hands on deck. You don't stop until the job is done. [31:35] One more Quick Break!

[32:28] Susan Meltzer was a cherished RIMS President and contributed so much to RIMS and the greater risk community. Learn more at RIMS.org/FRM.  [32:36] Let's Return to Our Interview with Eric Lobser! [32:52] Eric says that it seems to him that if people viewed Enterprise Risk Management more as Enterprise Value Management, they would better understand that it's more about what you need to do to improve the value of your company. [33:19] In Eric's Strategic Planning days in Corporate Acquisitions, he learned that Expected Value is about changing probabilities, not just the impact of those probabilities. [33:32] Eric says Enterprise Risk Management does a great job of addressing both the likelihood and the impact of things going wrong and things going right. What you're building with ERM is value. You're adding to the value of the company. [33:46] Eric thinks more people would engage. It would resonate with a lot of the corporate cultures to look at ERM as a way to build value for the company. [34:08] Justin says that for almost eight years, Eric was the Spire VP of ERM. Justin asks if Eric was able to hit the ground running, going from Regulatory and Government Affairs into ERM. [34:32] Eric says the position started with Insurance, and then Commodity Risk Management, other elements of the business that helped him up the learning curve. From Acquisitions, Regulatory, Operations, and Customer Service, Eric understood a lot about the business. [34:55] Eric says having a couple of years when he was in charge of Spire's Insurance program, including Captive Management, where you retain risk instead of transferring it, was a great transition to eventually getting Enterprise Risk. [35:31] Eric says he read every book he could get his hands on in the time he had. He noticed some of the things they were doing were based on ISO 31000. Eric read through ISO and COSO. COSO felt very intricate and detailed. [36:10] Eric asked himself what the potential was that we were going to adopt something. The culture of the business manages the risk. ERM oversees how the business manages risk. Eric wanted to pick a framework that fit more with Spire's corporate culture. [36:39] Eric says ISO 31000 is adjustable. He felt like it was a good fit. It was more about strategy and enterprise than Spire's focus had been. It was not just about what could go wrong and what they should be concerned about happening, but what must go right. [37:22] Eric says that looped in what he learned in Strategy, what they have to do to be successful, and what could derail them from that. Spire transitioned a little bit less away from risks and more to strategic imperatives and what they had to do to achieve their strategic vision. [38:02] Justin asks about ERM conferences and what makes a great ERM session. Eric says it's a practitioner who has lived through it with real-world experience on what works, what doesn't work, and why it didn't work. [38:18] Eric says everything's specific to the company, so what works for one may not work for another. An experienced practitioner brings a level of credibility that is important. Eric wants a presenter who focuses on what helps a company be more successful in executing its strategy. [38:41] Eric says a lot of presentations go into risk registers and software, but in the end, risk management is change management, with very complex systems. The presenter should speak to engaging the business, getting different areas to collaborate, and making better decisions. [39:31] Eric says those decisions are about how you allocate resources. Resources are limited. You can't do everything, so you prioritize. [39:41] ERM helps you to prioritize better, using a process of identification and assessment, to help you understand how important a risk is in relation to other risks, how soon it needs to be dealt with, and what level of mitigation and controls you already have in place. [40:13] Eric says, ERM helps you determine if this risk is extremely well-managed and there are resources you can take away from it to put toward a risk that's less well-mitigated. [40:22] Eric says a good ERM session presenter talks about how ERM helps a corporation make better decisions and effectuate those resource allocations that then help that company to be more successful. That's what ERM is about, and when somebody talks about that, it resonates. [41:02] Eric says when he hears a concept that really resonates with him, he tries to pull those concepts together. He has used principles from the Enterprise Risk Oversight Committee. [41:44] Justin says the Global ERM Award of Distinction call for submissions is open. You can send in those nominations now. RIMS Global ERM Award of Distinction nominations are open through Aug. 21! [41:57] Justin asks Eric what makes an Enterprise Risk Management program award-worthy. Eric says some of it is going to be based on the eye of the beholder. Enterprise Risk should be customized to the culture. People are going to view what makes a great program differently. [42:28] Eric says that the SERMC is looking for, with the diverse perspectives of the members, a program that is well-integrated into Strategic Planning, helps the business make decisions, and most importantly, helps it be more successful, with fewer downturns, than their competitors. [43:09] Eric says the business manages risk. ERM can help oversee what they're looking at and turn its attention to important things, and help determine the best ways to mitigate or treat risk, or support what they are doing, so the strategy prevents threats from derailing the company. [43:33] Eric says, in the end, a company that is consistently successful is probably the mark of a good Enterprise Risk Management program. [43:51] Justin says, we're going to see you again on November 19th and 20th in Columbus, Ohio at the RIMS ERM Conference. You can get your nominations in now for the RIMS Global ERM Award of Distinction. We'll have a special awards ceremony, like we do every year.

We are back after a long few weeks of being way too busy! Hopefully we can get back into the swing of things! We go over all we missed from the last few weeks of racing action across all the major series. We look ahead to Iowa and make our picks for what is sure to be one hot weekend out in the cornfields. Thanks for tuning in! 

Na een lekker weekend is het, zoals dat het hele jaar door gaat, tijd voor een nieuwe werkweek. Het is aan het ervaren driemanschap Boris, JJ & Skate om de nieuwe werkdagen in te luiden. Drie heren die allemaal goed van de tongriem gesneden zijn en niet bang zijn elkaar de maat te nemen. Wat vaak tot leuke en spannende afleveringen leidt. Het vocaal inwijden van de komende week gebeurt via een nieuwe aflevering van Brievenmaandag. Vragen zijn er zoals altijd volop. Wat vinden we van de digitale toekomst als zowel het netwerk van PlayStation als XBOX de afgelopen week eruit lag? Dat wekt toch allesbehalve vertrouwen? En wat zou er volgens ons in het doosje van GTA 6 zitten? Je krijgt de antwoorden op al deze prangende vragen in de Brievenmaandag van maandag 3 augustus 2026. Verrast het doosje van GTA 6 ons op 12 november? Een andere vraag komt van een kijker die helemaal doldwaas wordt van de casual games die zijn vrouw speelt. Games waarin je bijvoorbeeld ruimtes schoonmaakt en spuit. Tot hij uit vertwijfeling zelf probeerde en het eigenlijk wel leuk bleek. Tot zijn grote schaamte? Hebben wij zelf van dit soort guilty pleasures? Durven we daarvoor uit te komen? De drie nemen in deze video het woord. Er is een UFO-vraag voor Boris Een andere kwestie die aan bod komt, is de zoektocht naar roguelike/roguelite games voor de Switch 2. De bekende titels zoals Dead Cells, Risk of Rain, Vampire Crawlers/Survivors en Slay the Spire kent hij. Maar zijn er nog verborgen parels die we hem kunnen voorleggen? Wat gaat er allemaal op de Gamescom getoond worden dit jaar en wat gaan wij doen? Plus, jawel, er is een UFO-vraag voor Boris. En dan weet je hoe laat het in deze editie van Brievenmaandag gaat zijn.Wil je adverteren bij de podcast Gamekings óf misschien bij een andere podcast van ILVY Network?

Daniel Suárez and Julia Piquet take over the podcast for a special episode of Bless Your 'Hardt. They're filling in for Amy and Dale while they're on vacation in Costa Rica. With Julia just six weeks away from her due date, the two talk about getting ready for their first baby. They discuss their 50-person baby shower, keeping the baby's gender a surprise, and the baby names they've had picked out for years. But don't get your hopes up... it's a secret. They also settle a few important debates, including exactly when Daniel should actually start cooking at the barbecue. Daniel and Julia look back at their relationship, from first meeting through Julia's brother Nelson in 2012 to dating, moving in together, getting engaged and eventually getting married. Plus, Daniel opens up about the emotional significance of winning the Coca-Cola 600 with his new team and what the victory meant to everyone involved. Then, they wrap things up with Ask Julia & Daniel. They answer questions about diaper duty, life away from racing, what they miss from home, who said “I love you” first, and what happens if Julia goes into labor on a race weekend. It's a candid look at life, racing and getting ready for a whole new chapter for the Suárez family.

It's baaack. That's right – a mere 20 months later, we're revisiting one of our most chaotic episode ideas, and it's one where our listeners get to play along! If you weren't here yet in November 2024, you can go back and listen to Episode 27 to familiarise yourself with our totally-original-we-swear indie game draft picking process; or you can just take my word for it that it's basically fantasy football with indie games and that Liam as ever gives a good explanation of the rules in the episode and that's why I'm glossing over that bit… honest. It's not because I'm still a bit confused or anything. This time around we've done away with the framing concept of "we're building our own consoles and choosing the launch titles" in favour of… well, honestly, we just kind of each assemble a list of great indie games based on some loose themes while yelling at each other a lot in a very friendly way, and we felt like that was probably enough? Oh, but this time around everyone gets one betrayal card, and you can imagine how that goes… As a reminder, this is one where you can go to our lovely listener Discord and vote on who you think should win – and also, if you don't want spoilers, please go and listen first and then come back to this description once you're ready. I'll wait, don't worry. … Hi, nice to see you again! Okay so here are the three "teams" – remember to go and vote for your favourite! Liam's Team: Ballistic Zen, The Beginner's Guide, Blue Prince, Crow Country, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, Night in the Woods, Orbitals, Promise Mascot Agency, Stardew Valley, Unpacking Rebecca's Team: Bad Magpie, Camp Palut, The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, Mouthwashing, Outer Wilds, A Short Hike, Slay the Princess, Strange Horticulture, Thank Goodness You're Here, Tiny Bookshop Rachel's Team: 1000xRESIST, Citizen Sleeper 2, Deltarune, Gorogoa, Jump the Track, Mediterranea Inferno, The Séance of Blake Manor, Signalis, Slay the Spire, Toem We'll leave the poll open for two weeks, so listen in for the results and our reactions during our next LIVE(ish) and in-person episode, coming in August! Even though the structure of this episode is just a little difference, hyperfixations remain as our constant final segment. Rachel has – of course – been playing The Mermaid Mask at long last, so look forward to her reactions in a future episode! Rebecca has finished reading underrated dark fairytale The Curator by Owen King, and also enjoyed a feminist horror double-bill of Evil Dead Burn and Obsession at a mercifully air conditioned cinema. And Liam has been happily binging another South Korean reality show, The Devil's Plan. Our music was written and performed by Ollie Newbury! Find him on Instagram at @newbsmusic.

Garth Mollet, Senior Principal Product Security Engineer and Technical Advisor for Product Security at Red Hat, joins host Robert Blumen for a discussion of AI supply chain security. They start with the basics of supply chain security, including the key components of the AI supply chain, and how it differs from the conventional software supply chain. Garth discusses whether the attacks target model weights or inference, and describes the most common attacks and what's in it for the attacker, whether exfiltration, credentials, sabotage, or resources. The episode also considers SPIFFE, SPIRE, attestation, workload identity, and whether AI has the equivalent of "reproducible builds."

 Looking for YA fantasy that gives all the great world-building vibes, fabulous faith, and a nod at forbidden romance? Listen in as Jil Koller and I chat about Heart of a Bowman and see why I absolutely LOVED THIS BOOK! note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.  Okay, the way Jill built her world, talking and planning, and getting people on board to help figure all the things out? EEEP! That is awesome!  I loved the stories she told about writing it, about seeing how things came together--all of it! But best of all,  LOVED the book. My review of it can be found on GoodReads HERE. Heart of a Bowman by Jil Koller RISING FROM THE ENDLESS SEA is the Vertical Horizon, a massive rock spire holding four tiers of kingdoms. Four Truth Stones, one for each of the spire's interdependent tierdoms, help maintain a delicate power balance. But when a stone is stolen, the Spire is plunged into war. Seventeen-year-old Princess Aratess of Ardenia is destined for the shallow life of the royal court—and an arranged marriage to a selfish prince—but she longs to serve her people in a different way. For years, she's practiced archery in secret, and when the chance arrives, she matches her talents against Colt, an elite King's Bowman. Fiercely loyal to the crown, twenty-year-old Colt questions how his mother's people, the Reyjik, could betray the Realm. He also questions the judgment—though not the skills—of the fiery young woman who has inserted herself into his mission. Tess keeps her identity a secret, knowing Colt would forbid his princess from risking her life. Colt, meanwhile, strives to keep a secret of his own: his growing feelings for Tess. As Reyjik overrun Costair's capital, Colt and Tess escape skyward to warn the King of Ardenia and mount a counterattack. Desperate, they enlist the help of Deacon, Colt's estranged childhood friend and a lighter-than-aircraft pirate. Will Colt, Tess, Deacon, and a motley crew of pirates prove enough to stave off invasion and turn the tide of war? Learn more on Jil's WEBSITE and follow on GoodReads. Like to listen on the go?

Back after a HUGE weekend from San Diego! NASCAR took to Coronado Navy Base and put on one epic weekend of racing in all three series. We talk about all the action from the Trucks, O'Reilly, and Cup Series. We look ahead to Sonoma and make our picks for the last road course race of the season.It's also time for NASCAR's in season challenge! We're looking at the first-round matchups and who we think will survive the twists and turns in wine country.IndyCar was at Road America and we watched an incredible front to back to front drive for the win.F1 heads to Austria and NHRA will be in Norwalk.Thanks for tuning in!  

After what felt like the longest O'Reilly Series race of all-time, DJD was able to go live from San Diego for a great post-race show presented by Arby's and America's Navy. Dale, TJ and Freddie are joined by The Hurricane himself, Carson Hocevar, for the entirety of the show to talk about prepping on iRacing, Spire's standout performance, qualifying on the front row, and the unknowns of tire wear on the abrasive San Diego circuit. It was a late night but the gang brought the energy, so sit back and enjoy.  THE PODCASTS YOU LOVE. THE MERCH YOU NEED.

Nicole Martin made history as Christianity Today's first Black female CEO — and took the hits that come with it. In this conversation: the backlash, Billy Graham's original vision, how the magazine is advancing and speaking into a polarized world, and why leadership is designed to kill you.

This episode of The Rizzuto Show starts with a story so insane it sounds fake — a guy somehow breaches airport security in Denver and gets hit by a departing plane. Naturally, the gang handles the horrifying news the only way they know how: with questions about Bigfoot, crop dusting on airplanes, and whether sitting near the bathroom actually improves survival odds. Welcome to your favorite daily comedy show.Then Lern returns from Vegas spiritually changed, financially compromised, and somehow clutching a mystery orange from No Doubt's concert at The Sphere. We get the full play-by-play from her weekend adventure, including secret cocktails that numb your mouth, a pilgrimage for the legendary cronut, dancing until 2am with random realtors, and witnessing a woman pass out during “Don't Speak” while foam oranges rained from the heavens. Honestly, Vegas should just sponsor this episode at this point.The crew also dives deep into the emotional trauma and beauty of 90s nostalgia. From grunge music and ska bands to JNCO jeans, rollerblades, slap bracelets, Beanie Babies, and starter jackets, it becomes painfully clear that we are all slowly becoming the old people we used to make fun of. Future nursing homes are absolutely going to blast Lil Jon and No Doubt while somebody named Skyler asks where their vape charger went.Meanwhile, Rafe accidentally turns his tiny backyard retaining wall project into a full-blown neighborhood emergency after a gas line rupture brings fire trucks, Spire crews, and suburban panic directly to his driveway. Nothing says adulthood quite like introducing yourself to the neighbors and then accidentally shutting down the block 24 hours later.There's also:Death binder comedy gigsVegas strip survival strategiesThe emotional power of Gwen StefaniWhy old people are about to become way coolerHow much shots in Vegas SHOULD costWhy cronuts deserve respectThe rise and fall of Tommy HilfigerAnd enough sarcasm to medically concern several professionalsIf you're into weird news, hilarious fails, celebrity stories, pop culture commentary, music nostalgia, and the kind of friendship chaos that only exists in a morning radio studio, this daily comedy show continues delivering the nonsense you didn't know you needed.The Rizzuto Show remains the Midwest's favorite collection of sleep-deprived weirdos somehow surviving adulthood one dumb story at a time.
